QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 42 (Thursday, March 5, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 42 (Thursday, March 5, 2026)] [House] [Pages H2428-H2429] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES (Mr. Frost of Florida was recognized to address the House for 5 minutes.) Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to talk about the investigation and horrific crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. Last Friday, I attended President Clinton's deposition in New York. This deposition raised even more questions about President Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Let me explain why. First off, of course, President Clinton said that President Trump flew on the plane; but not just that, President Clinton also recounted a conversation he had with President Trump about Jeffrey Epstein on a golf course in New York in the early 2000s. He said that President Trump had told him that the reason him and Jeffrey Epstein had a falling out had to do with a real estate land dispute. This directly contradicts information that President Trump has stated in the past. He has claimed that their falling out was over spa workers at Mar-a-Lago. We also know his own Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, is in the files, as well. Despite this, the President contends that he doesn't know anything about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. The question is: If you don't know anything about the crimes, how do you know that Howard Lutnick is innocent, as the President has stated multiple times. I also have unanswered questions about President Trump's Mar-a-Lago club. President Trump himself said that Jeffrey Epstein stole many of the women who worked at the spa in Mar-a-Lago. I made a motion in the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to subpoena documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and Mar-a-Lago. No Republican on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform supported my motion. Republicans on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform wanted to spend our time talking to Secretary Hillary Clinton. If we are calling spouses before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, why haven't we talked to Melania Trump about what she knows? There are still many questions that need to be answered. I am proud that yesterday the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform issued a subpoena to Pam Bondi. We will hold her accountable for what is obviously a coverup in her withholding of many of the Epstein files. DOJ Visits and Reddit Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to chat about what I have been doing at the Department of Justice. Many Members have been going to the Department of Justice to view the Epstein files unredacted. Many of the files I have looked at were still redacted, even ones without victims' names in it. Some of the files I went to look for are no longer accessible and actually have been removed from the website. We know these files existed, but they have been scrubbed by the DOJ. Americans are tired of the corruption. They are tired of a tiered justice system where depending on how big your bank account is and how connected you are will directly impact the outcome of your case. They want transparency. I went online to Reddit and different websites to ask folks what I should look at and what they wanted transparency on as far as the Epstein files were concerned. Here today, I wanted to come to the floor to share some of the files that people online have asked me to look into. The first one was this file that talked about a torture video. This right here is an email. The email belongs to Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and that is who this was sent to. The next one has to do with an email that says: ``Did you know somewhere [[Page H2429]] in the hills outside Zorro, two foreign girls were buried on orders of Jeffrey and Madam G. Both died by strangulation during rough fetish sex.'' This is from a fake email right here, dfd42299@protonmail.com . Then at the bottom down here, they are arranging for a Bitcoin to be sent to a wallet address. I am actually going to read that address out loud: 3Cr9TpVeBegey 4zGRPEdzMC94HzUUScBHN. One of the other files people asked for some transparency on had to do with the Federal Bureau of Investigation CHS reporting document. This is still redacted. Even when I went into the DOJ and clicked a button to unredact it, it was still redacted. I was told they received it this way. The next one has to do with a diary of drawings and collages, something that could definitely give us some more information that could be useful. This is also still redacted. There are many pages from the diary, all redacted. Of course, we need to keep the victims' names from being made public, but Congress has a right to investigate this important information. One of the files that folks asked me to look into is about Donald Trump. Jeffrey Epstein forwarded an email to Ghislaine Maxwell. This email was from Jack Goldberger. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman's time has expired. ____________________
