Congressman Veasey Introduces Resolution Demanding Full Public Release of Jeffrey Epstein Files

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33) introduced a House resolution calling on the Department of Justice, FBI, and other relevant federal agencies to release all unclassified records, flight logs, and investigative materials related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. The resolution also affirms Congress’s constitutional authority to investigate and oversee matters of public interest and institutional accountability. 

“After years of promises and assurances from President Donald Trump and his administration on the release of the records related to Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged child trafficking operation and business interests, the American people are still being denied the full truth,” said Congressman Veasey. “One of two things is true: either Trump and his acolytes fueled the rumors of the significance of these files contain more serious information that they are actively hiding. We owe it to the victims—and to the credibility of our justice system—to bring every fact into the light.”

The resolution cites numerous public statements made between 2024 and 2025 by Trump-aligned officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and President Trump himself—all of whom affirmed their intent to release the Epstein files or pursue criminal accountability. Last week, the Department of Justice announced it would not open an investigation into “uncharged third parties” and that “no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted” despite the conviction of close Epstein ally, Ghislaine Maxwell.

The resolution summarizes Epstein’s 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges, his death in federal custody, and the subsequent arrest and conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell. It notes the continued public interest in revealing the full extent of Epstein’s client network and questions the government’s prolonged failure to release flight logs, visitor records, sealed depositions, and investigative files.

Among its key provisions, the resolution:

●    Affirms Congress’s Article I investigatory powers;
●    Demands the release of all unclassified Epstein-related records;
●    Calls for public hearings into why these documents have remained suppressed;
●    Urges redaction only where necessary to protect minor victims or ongoing prosecutions.
