Lawmakers Push for Full Epstein Records as New Motion Highlights Vast Majority Still Sealed

 

Pressure is mounting in Washington after bipartisan lawmakers filed a fresh motion calling for the release of thousands of sealed documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, arguing that the American public has only seen a tiny fraction of the full case record.

Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie jointly introduced the measure this week, drawing attention to the fact that less than 1% of the Epstein-related files have been disclosed. The motion seeks to compel federal authorities to unseal the remaining records, citing public interest and accountability.

Epstein’s case has remained a source of intense scrutiny for years due to his powerful connections, unexplained legal protections, and unanswered questions surrounding associates allegedly involved in his trafficking network. Despite multiple investigations and court proceedings, a vast number of documents remain hidden from public view.

Khanna and Massie argued that continued secrecy fuels speculation and erodes trust in federal institutions. Their filing urges the courts and relevant agencies to accelerate transparency, especially regarding communications, financial links, and identities that may still be shielded.

The renewed push comes amid growing public frustration and widespread online campaigns demanding full disclosure. Advocacy groups say releasing the remaining material could shed light on long-suspected cover-ups and clarify the extent of Epstein’s relationships with influential figures.

Legal experts note that while courts have gradually unsealed portions of the case over time, bureaucratic resistance and privacy arguments have slowed the broader release. The lawmakers’ motion aims to break that gridlock.

If approved, the move could trigger one of the largest disclosures yet connected to the Epstein investigation, potentially reopening national debate about elite accountability and justice for victims.

The proposal is already gaining traction across political and media circles, with transparency advocates calling it a critical step toward revealing what has long remained buried.
