Congressman Rogers voted in support of the bill, as well as the House Resolution that passed in September, directing the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to continue its investigation of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.\n\n\u201cWe all want to see justice for the victims of this horrific sex trafficking ring involving minors. I applaud the strong vote today and the effective ongoing work of the Oversight Committee,\u201d said Congressman Rogers, Dean of the House. \u201cWashington Democrats failed to release the Epstein files under the Biden Administration for four years, but I\u2019m grateful that we are moving forward in a bipartisan manner. I am hopeful that additional protections will be added to the bill for victim privacy, undercover law enforcement and whistleblowers.\u201d\n\nThe Oversight Committee has already released 65,000 pages of documents and the Acosta interview transcript. They have also subpoenaed the Justice Department\u2019s records, the Epstein Estates and Ghislaine Maxwell.\n\nThe bill now moves on to the Senate for consideration.", 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://halrogers.house.gov/press-releases?ID=2A07ABE0-6593-4EDC-BFA3-F2DF75F1439B"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.347390003502369, "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"}
