Smith Releases Statement After Voting to Release the Epstein Files

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Adrian Smith released the following statement after voting for H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act:

“The crimes of Jeffrey Epstein are appalling. The American people deserve transparency into who else participated, who else knew, and why Epstein received the treatment he did from prosecutors.

“Today’s vote is another small step towards accountability and justice for the survivors of these heinous crimes. I appreciate the work which the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has already done to release more than 65,000 pages of documents relating to Epstein, and I hope further accountability will be the result as additional files are reviewed and released.”
