Rep. Andrea Salinas’ Statement on Voting to Release the Epstein Files

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06) issued the following statement following her vote to release the Epstein files:

“I proudly voted to force the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.

“​Despite President Trump doing everything he could to block the release and protect Epstein, himself, and the abusers, the House voted to hold the perpetrators accountable and deliver justice to the girls they abused.

“This is not about politics. This is about standing up for every American who has been failed by a system that protects the powerful and vilifies the vulnerable — it is about accountability.

“Today’s vote takes us one step closer to providing justice to survivors and transparency to the American people. No one is above the law. Not the powerful. Not the wealthy. And most certainly not the President.”
