Representative Adriano Espaillat Votes to Release the Epstein Files

WASHINGTON, DC — Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) issued the following statement on his vote to release and make public the Epstein files: 

"Let’s be clear, this is a White House cover-up and Donald Trump and his Republican allies have done everything in their power to block the truth and it's time to bring the secrets out of the shadows," said Espaillat.

"Today, I stood with House Democrats to vote in favor of the Khanna-Massie Resolution, which would force the DOJ to release the files to the full House and public. This effort marks a long overdue step toward justice for Epstein survivors and sends a strong message to his evil allies that we will hold them accountable."
