Epstein Files Transparency Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, this should be an easy vote. This is about justice for the victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. This is about every victim of trafficking and sexual abuse, monstrous crimes that thrive in secrecy and fear.

Yet, instead of shining a light on that darkness, just moments ago, Donald Trump defended the continued obstruction of releasing these files. Even as House Republicans prepared to vote ``yes'' today, Speaker Johnson is calling this a show vote. He is calling it dangerous. He is signaling the U.S. Senate to block it.

Republicans continue to use their power to shield rich pedophiles from justice. If you can't stand up for these survivors, how can anyone trust you to stand up for them?
