Every member of Alabama’s delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of releasing the Epstein files.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act passed the chamber by a 427-1, with Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) casting the only “no” vote.
“Today, I voted to release the Epstein Files to build on the transparency that President Trump’s Department of Justice and House Oversight Committee Republicans are already working to ensure in their investigation,” U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) said.
“I applaud President Trump for supporting the release of these files and will continue working with his administration to get answers for the American people while also protecting innocent victims. President Trump has always led the charge to fight weaponized government that protects the elites, and any suggestion otherwise is a lie meant to distract and divide Republicans as we fight to save America by enacting his agenda.”
The bill directs the Department of Justice to release the files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“The release of these documents, along with [GOP Oversight]’s thorough investigation, bring us closer to providing the victims of Jeffery Epstein with the justice they deserve,” U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) said.
“I hope these documents will provide the American people with answers and result in those that committed wrongdoing being held accountable.”
The legislation received a rare, bipartisan mark of approval from the delegation.
“I believe transparency is always the best policy,” U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (D-Birmingham) said. “And the American people and those victims deserve to know.”
The measure now heads to the U.S. Senator for approval.
