Justice Should Be Required

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, I am here to talk about two incidents that shame me as a Member of this House and as an American citizen.

Today, President Trump signed the Epstein documents release bill. Lots of women were up here who were victims of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual felonies, and they celebrated when the House passed it and the Senate passed it, but it is clear today that classified documents therein will not be released and documents that might relate to an ongoing investigation which President Trump authorized going after Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and others on the Democratic side which are false and improper investigations where Ms. Bondi said there was nothing there, will not allow for material to be disclosed.

The Senate said the House shouldn't get involved with the $500,000 that each Senator should get for simply having a phone call noted--not listened to, not documented, but noted. It is $500,000 for nine Senators.

That money should go to the Epstein victims. Truth spoken. Justice should be required.
