First, he said the Epstein files were a hoax, then he bullied Republicans who had the courage to call for transparency. “Enough. Survivors deserve justice. The public deserves answers. Anyone who stands in the way is complicit in shielding pedophiles. The House has done its part—now the Republican-controlled Senate must find the courage to do the same.” The Epstein Files Transparency Act mandates that the Department of Justice release unclassified records related to Epstein’s crimes and network. The resolution passed with bipartisan support after Dexter was one of the 218 members of Congress who used a procedural maneuver known as a discharge petition to force its vote in the House. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |
