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\u2019s criminal enterprise and restoring trust in the federal government,\u201d said Rep. Ben Cline.\n\nBACKGROUND:\n\nThe House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed all documents from the Department of Justice, the Epstein estate, and has summoned 11 witnesses to provide deposition testimony. Over the past year, the Oversight Committee has released over 50,000 pages of documents related to the Epstein files. Additionally, on September 3, 2025, Rep. Cline joined his colleagues in supporting and passing H. Res. 668, which formalized the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform\u2019s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and also requires the Committee to make all relevant documents available to the public, while ensuring that the personal information of victims remains protected.", 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://cline.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2620"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.875500962138176, "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"}
