Demanding the immediate release of all Federal documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein.
This House Resolution (H. Res. 577) is a non-binding, symbolic action in the 119th Congress that demands the immediate release of all federal documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and their known associates. It states that the House has constitutional authority to investigate and subpoena information and calls on the Trump Administration to disclose unclassified files, flight logs, correspondence, and evidence, with redactions only to protect minor victims and ongoing prosecutions. It also directs federal agencies to report on any delays or destruction of evidence, urges House committees to investigate potential obstruction or delays, and champions broad public access to these documents in the interest of justice and accountability. Because it is a resolution, not a law, it does not itself compel release. Instead, it signals the House’s position, adds political pressure on the executive branch, and outlines steps for ongoing oversight and transparency. The effect depends on subsequent actions by other branches and committees, but it clearly frames declassification and disclosure as a priority for congressional oversight.
