November 18, 2025 Press Release Watch video statement from Rep. DeLauro here WASHINGTON —Today, US Representative Rosa DeLauro issued the following statement regarding her vote in support of HR 185, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, to release all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation: “Today, I voted for justice for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, accountability for everyone who participated in these despicable and heinous crimes, and transparency for the American people. “Anyone connected to Epstein’s crimes—Republican or Democrat, billionaire or celebrity—must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Congress and the American people must not let this investigation be undermined by partisan agendas—we must continue to demand transparency at every stage. “Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse have waited years for the justice they deserve. Our country owes them nothing less than a full disclosure of the contents of these files, no matter who or what is implicated. There can be no more half measures; it is time for truth.”
