Congressman Biggs Issues Statement on House’s Passage of Epstein Transparency Legislation

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) voted in favor of H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which ultimately passed the House. Congressman Biggs issued the following statement:

“I voted in favor of H.R. 4405 to support continued transparency in the Epstein investigation and to advance the broader pursuit of justice. That work, however, requires more than a single bill.

“The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform—on which I serve—has already released more than 60,000 pages of documents this year as part of a serious, fact-driven effort to uncover the full record, protect the victims, and ensure every responsible party is held to account. This is the type of investigative work that produces real transparency and accountability.

“For four years, the Biden administration and congressional Democrats remained silent on the release of Epstein-related records. Their newfound urgency suggests they want the public to believe they are leading on this issue, but they only hope to uncover some involvement by President Trump. Their ultimate goal is not to help the victims get justice and peace, but to try to deliver a body blow to the President.

“In reality, President Trump banned Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after learning about Epstein’s 2008 convictions. President Trump’s first administration initiated the indictments of Jeffrey Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, setting the standard for real action rather than empty signaling.

“I thank the Senate for their quick passage of the legislation."
