For months, Donald Trump and his Department of Justice have refused to comply with a lawful subpoena led by Oversight Committee Democrats that requires the release of the full unredacted Epstein Files. They should have done this already. Instead, this has become an ongoing cover-up by the Trump White House and enabled by Republicans.\n\n\u201cRepublicans can\u2019t hide anymore. Donald Trump can\u2019t hide anymore. Today\u2019s vote is a crucial step forward. Trump could release the full Epstein Files today\u2014but he is choosing not to. I will continue to push for full accountability. Not even the richest, the most well- connected, or powerful should be able to hide from the truth.\u201d\n\nWATCH: Rep. Ansari speak on the House Floor on H.R. 4405\n\nTRANSCRIPT:\n\nMr. Speaker: The walls are closing in on Donald Trump and his rich and powerful friends who either abused or raped children or were enabling and complicit in these heinous crimes for decades.\n\nThis vote today matters, but here is the truth, Donald Trump could direct the Department of Justice to release the files today. He is choosing not to\u2014they are already under subpoena, led by Oversight Democrats, and have refused.\n\nThis is an ongoing cover up by the Trump White House, and Mike Johnson in the House has been complicit in what is Trump hiding, why not release the files? Release the files today.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://ansari.house.gov/media/press-releases/ansari-statement-on-voting-yes-on-hr-4405-the-epstein-files-transparency-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8646789938211441, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
