TELL THE U.S. HOUSE: Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released Trump's birthday
letter to Jeffrey Epstein. In the alleged letter, Trump says he and
Epstein share a "wonderful secret." So, what is Trump hiding? Advocates,
lawmakers, survivors, and the public are demanding answers. Sign the petition: Don't let Trump hide. Force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files!

Last week, House Democrats released the infamous letter from Trump to
Epstein from his birthday book. In the alleged note, Trump says that he
and Epstein share a “wonderful secret.”^1

So, what is Trump hiding? Why did the FBI redact his name multiple times
in the trove of files that the government has on Epstein’s crimes?^2 And
who else are Trump and Speaker Johnson protecting with their cover-up?

“Refusing to release the files erodes public trust and faith in our
institutions,” said Rep. Ro Khanna, who is leading a discharge petition
with Rep. Thomas Massie to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files.^3
The measure has bipartisan support and is close to reaching the 218 member
majority that would require Speaker Johnson to hold a vote on finally
answering the calls of survivors, advocates, and the public.

Rep. Khanna also said that, “the government has chosen to protect Epstein
and the well connected over children who were being abused.”^4

Many survivors of Epstein’s crimes have spoken with clarity and conviction
urging lawmakers and the White House to release the files so their abusers
can be held accountable.

Johnson and the Trump admin have tried to distract us from the Epstein
Files with phony DOJ document dumps, the abrupt closing of the U.S. House
for recess, bogus legislative maneuvers, and, last week, Johnson’s absurd
claim that Trump was an FBI informant charged with taking down
Epstein.^5,6

It’s time for our lawmakers to put an end to these distractions and stall
tactics.
