Epstein Files Transparency Act

Twitter came in clutch.

They said, "Epstein voted yes on the final Epstein Files Transparency Act, but did not sign the discharge petition." She only voted to release the Epstein files when it was politically expedient for her, when everyone in the House of Representatives except Clay Higgins voted to release the Epstein files.

So they know that this is a bad issue for them politically.

The White House knows it is not a good issue for them heading into 2026, and there is new legislation now introduced today- By several members of Congress, Republican and Democrat, the Epstein Wall Street Records Act.

Right, Epstein might not be dominating the headlines like he once was, but representatives like Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, they are constantly trying to keep this issue in the spotlight.

And the discharge petition for the second part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act has 216 of the 218 signatures that it needs.

And so both Massie and Khanna, they're really trying to up the pressure on their colleagues to join on and force a vote on this bill.

Right, just this week you had Khanna campaigning with a Democratic Senate candidate in Iowa.

The family met with Crank's district staff in September twenty twenty-five, and all messages they sent after that received no answer, they said.

Their request for Crank's support came after they traveled to Washington, DC to push for the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

They also told Crank's office that they met wi- with US Representative Lauren Boebert, a Windsor Republican, to thank her for signing a discharge petition to force a floor vote on the measure.

And that was a pretty courageous move on Ms. Boebert's part.

So my advice is keep all of this in mind as you head to the ballot box.

And if you're in this district, remember that Mr. Crank's district director thinks it's funny.

Crank did not sign the discharge petition earlier last year to force a floor vote, but he voted in November in support of the Epstein Files Transparency Act after President Donald Trump urged Congress to pass the measure.

Trump had a well-documented relationship with Epstein.

Well, House Democrats, their campaign arm just launched an ad in Colorado featuring the brother of Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre, accusing Republican Congressman Jeff Crank of refusing to meet the family and then voting to keep the Epstein files hidden.

Now, Crank did skip the discharge petition last year, but he later voted for the Epstein Files Transparency Act with nearly everyone in Congress.

Across the pond, Prince Andrew is now challenging the search warrants that led to his arrest in an Epstein-related leak investigation.

Republicans should be the loudest voices for Epstein transparency in America, and any Republican who isn't is handling this the wrong way and is also giving the Democrats an open opportunity to attack.

Amanda Roberts says Crank declined to meet with them and that he-- when he had the chance to make the Epstein files public, that he consistently voted to keep them hidden.

Now, the facts on the record, because they matter, Crank, in his first term, did not endorse a bipartisan discharge petition last year that would have forced a House vote on releasing Epstein-related documents.

But he later voted, along with nearly all members of Congress, for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires the government to disclose extensive investigative files.

Crank stated to CNN, "I have consistently advocated for transparency and accountability concerning the business dealings, investigations, and prosecutions related to Jeffrey Epstein." His campaign didn't immediately respond to further requests for comment, uh, on all of this.

He voted against the big, beautiful bill.

He forced passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which the White House did not want.

And it caused a lot of issues in the Department of Justice.

So.

He's just been a big headache for the administration.

They spent the most money that's ever been spent in a primary to defeat him earlier this year.

But recently, he brought up and started a discharge petition to force a vote on a second Epstein Files Transparency Act.

A lot of members don't believe that the Department of Justice has released enough information or released all the information that they were supposed to that coincides with the law that they passed last year.

Hmm

... uh, there are more questions to be answered, and there are more files to release, and that's why we've done the Epstein Files Transparency Act part two.

By the way, Kaitlan, we got the number of Republicans we need, and now we're just two Democrats short, but those two Democrats were out sick or for family reasons.

As soon as we get back, that second discharge petition for this second bill that Ro Khanna and Teresa Leger Fernandez and I introduced, it's going to succeed, and they'll have seven legislative days to deal with it after the midterms.
