Demand Full Epstein Case File Release and Public Hearings (UPDATED 3/10)

Updates

March 10, 2026: The Justice Department released previously withheld documents detailing a woman’s allegations against both Epstein and Trump. This comes after the House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena AG Pam Bondi for a closed-door deposition under oath. While the committee has sought testimony from a number of individuals, including the Clintons and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, they have not taken action to depose Trump despite his repeated mentions in the files.

February 5, 2026: Over a month after the legally mandated deadline to release Epstein case files, the DOJ has released another batch of documents. However, millions of documents are still being withheld by the DOJ. Congress must demand the DOJ release all files as mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, call for public hearings on the released files' contents, and hold the DOJ accountable for shielding perpetrators.

December 21, 2025: After failing to meet the December 19th deadline for releasing the entirety of the Epstein files as required by the recently passed Epstein Files Transparency Act, House members Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) have threatened to draft inherent contempt charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. If passed, inherent contempt charges would allow the House to bypass the courts and force Bondi to either release the files or face personal consequences such as imprisonment.

November 18, 2025: The House and Senate have both passed H.R. 4405 the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The House voted 427-1, and the Senate voted unanimously.

In 2019, after years of evading the law, Jeffrey Epstein was convicted on federal child sex trafficking charges. Epstein was a wealthy financier with close ties to powerful people, including Donald Trump. Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell systematically groomed young girls to be raped and trafficked to their wealthy friends. Epstein died in his jail cell while awaiting sentencing. While the medical examiner concluded his death was a suicide, conspiracies around his death quickly arose, as did substantial public interest in the supposed “client list” identifying customers of Epstein’s trafficking operation. Donald Trump promised the release of the client list throughout his 2024 presidential campaign. Pam Bondi, his Attorney General, publicly claimed the list was sitting on her desk. However, on July 6th, Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) released a memo concluding that Epstein did not have a client list and declining to publicly release evidence.

The DOJ has since made weak promises to release grand jury testimonies and talk to Ghislaine Maxwell. However, the DOJ’s reversal of repeated promises of transparency, along with Trump’s aggressive campaign to suppress the story, have violated public trust. Trump’s DOJ already operates as a protection racket for Trump. Trump himself is an adjudicated rapist with a long history of offenses, including some alongside Epstein. The public deserves to know who was involved in this heinous crime ring. Urge your representatives to demand the full public release of the Epstein files.
