Washington, D.C. – Today, House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) issued the following statement on passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act:
“I voted for the Epstein Files Transparency Act because I support - as I always have - complete transparency and accountability, so long as we preserve protections for the victims.
“The House Oversight Committee has already done great work in gathering new details on Jeffrey Epstein, and I look forward to continuing to pursue the truth wherever it may lead.
“It is, however, ironic that my Democratic colleagues are just now interested in the Epstein files after four years of crickets… anything to distract from an administration and policy agenda that is making America safer, more prosperous, and respected again.” – Chairman Arrington.
