Washington, D.C.- Rep. Thomas Massie announces that his Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA) passed the House of Representatives today on a vote of 427-1.  EFTA received a vote after Rep. Massie successfully gathered 218 signatures on a discharge petition to force the legislation onto the House floor for consideration. EFTA requires the Attorney General to release all documents and records in possession of the Department of Justice relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

"Today's overwhelming vote in the House of Representatives to release the Epstein files is a major victory not only for the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, but for victims of sexual abuse throughout the country," said Rep. Thomas Massie. "EFTA's passage brings Epstein's victims one step closer to receiving justice and Americans one step closer to receiving transparency."

"The Epstein Files Transparency Act now moves to the Senate," Rep. Massie continued. "The Senate should not add an amendment to EFTA to avoid disclosing those rich and powerful men who have evaded justice for so many years. Senators should quickly send the House-passed bill to the President for his signature."

Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act. President Trump has said that he will sign the legislation.

Before today's vote, Reps. Thomas Massie, Ro Khanna, and Marjorie Taylor Greene held a press conference at the Capitol with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse. The press conference is available in its entirety at this link.
