Press Releases

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Jimmy Gomez released the following statement after the House voted to release the full Jeffrey Epstein files, opening the door for the public to see the records connected to Epstein’s decades-long network of abuse: 

“I voted today to release the full Epstein files because the American people deserve the truth. For months, Trump and Republicans tried to delay and distract and only brought this forward once they realized they couldn’t stop it. Survivors have waited long enough, and this vote is a big step forward in bringing everything to light. Now, Senate Republicans must act and bring the files for a vote immediately. Survivors shouldn’t have to wait one day longer for the truth.” 
 
Rep. Gomez has been one of the leading voices in Congress pushing for the release of the Epstein files. He has repeatedly demanded full transparency and accountability from the Trump administration. 

For months, at Donald Trump’s urging, Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans blocked every attempt to bring a vote on the Epstein files to the floor. They relented only after it became clear a large majority of Republicans were prepared to break with the President’s wishes. Now the measure heads to the Senate, where Republican leaders have yet to schedule a vote.
