Discussion on Epstein Files Transparency Act

For what purpose does the gentleman from Kentucky seek recognition?

To ask unanimous consent to address the House for one minute.

Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute.

Mr. Speaker, it's been a year since the President

signed the Epstein

Files Transparency Act, and the government continues to withhold

over

three million files. That's why we've introduced the Epstein

Files

Transparency Act II, to bring the fight to the state courts,

accountability to the Department of Justice, and closure for

survivors. We want perpetrators of these crimes to be

investigated and prosecuted. Men like Jess Staley, Leon

Black, Les Wexner, David Copperfield, Lapo Elkann,

Tom Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Frederick Fekai,

Eduardo Teodoro Rani, Jean-Luc Brunel,

conveniently dead by suicide in prison, Daniel Sead,

recently discovered dead in Paris, Ramsay El-Khoury, and Prince

Andrew, who committed sex crimes in the United

States, too.

And women like Lesley Groff, not a victim, who conspired with

Epstein to traffic other women. Perhaps hearing these names will

shame the Department of Justice into delivering justice.

I yield back.
