Bacon Gives Update on Epstein Files Vote

Washington – Rep. Don Bacon (NE-02) yesterday voted to subpoena and release the Epstein files, via a procedural rule directing the Oversight Committee to release "all unclassified committee records received from the Attorney General, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Epstein estate, and any other custodians related to the investigation described in this resolution, as well as any written declarations, or other evidence that relates to the investigation described in this resolution," according to its text.

“I voted yes because the discharge petition only affects files from the Department of Justice, and it’s not as instant as people think. If the discharge petition is passed, then the legislation is debated and voted on. If passed, it goes to the Senate, and if passed there, on to the President. The procedure yesterday opens more information up and speeds up the process. Many associated with the Discharge petition are just trying to score political points instead of getting to the truth. I’ve personally talked to Oversight Committee Chairman Comer. He is 100% dedicated to acquiring all the info and releasing it. He will do this by protecting the victim’s identities.”
