Republicans spent years demanding that the Jeffrey Epstein files be made public. But now, the moment it became clear that Donald Trump's name appears in the files, his allies and the Trump White House have suddenly started calling the investigation a "hoax." We all know why: Trump was friendly with Epstein, even calling him "the greatest" in a recently uncovered letter—and Trump is now desperate to cover it up.

Now, it's time for the truth to come out, and Congress has the power to make that happen. A bipartisan group of lawmakers is pushing to do what the Department of Justice won't and force the release of all Epstein files. They're using a special "discharge petition" to require a House of Representatives vote on releasing the full, unclassified files.

If 218 members of the House sign the discharge petition, Speaker Mike Johnson will have no choice but to hold a floor vote and unlock the truth. So far, dozens have signed on, both Democrats and Republicans. But Republican leadership is running scared: Speaker Johnson literally adjourned Congress early to avoid a vote on this. That's how far they'll go to hide the truth. We need every remaining House Democrat (and a few brave Republicans) to sign the petition and hit that 218-member threshold.

Survivors of Epstein's abuse have waited far too long for answers. We need to know if those in power abused their positions or helped cover up Epstein's crimes. As Representative Ro Khanna said, "It's about transparency in government. Whose side are you on – the rich and powerful men protecting each other, or young girls and survivors seeking justice?". Any member of Congress who hasn't signed on is helping protect Epstein's secrets. We can't allow a cover-up of this magnitude to be ignored. The House must act to shine a light on the full Epstein files and hold every perpetrator accountable.

Sign our petition to House members now: Demand your representative support the discharge petition and vote to release the Epstein files immediately!
