Today, Congressman Ben Cline (VA-06) voted in support of H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would require the production and release of all documents from Epstein-related investigations and prosecutions, flight logs and travel records, records of government officials connected to Epstein, records of entities with ties to Epstein, and all related communications. 

“Today’s vote represents continued progress toward the transparency the American people rightly expect. As with my support for H. Res. 668 back in September, I have remained firmly committed to ensuring full accountability surrounding the Epstein files. My vote today for H.R. 4405 again reflects that commitment and my belief that openness and accountability are essential to ensuring justice for victims of Epstein’s criminal enterprise and restoring trust in the federal government,” said Rep. Ben Cline.
