WASHINGTON, DC — Today, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on a measure to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. In case you missed it, last week on Brownwood's KOXE radio with Jeff Duncan, Rep. Pfluger discussed this issue and previewed how he planned to vote.
Read their conversation below:
Rep. Pfluger: "Next week, you will notice that we will have a vote on the Jeffrey Epstein files. You know, for a year now, the [Trump] administration has been working through due process. Where was Biden on this issue, by the way, for four years? They didn't do anything. Their DOJ, instead of going after Epstein, went after Senator Cruz – instead of going after people who were actually harming our country, and the cartels, and the fentanyl trade. Instead of that, they went after senators and tapped their phone records. So what you're going to see is the work of due process to ensure that those who are innocent are protected, but that those who need to go to trial can get there. And I will be voting yes on this. I believe in transparency, and I believe in due process, and I am proud of the steps from DOJ, and by the way, Mike Johnson, our Speaker of the House, is working very, very hard to ensure that this is a fair process.
Jeff Duncan: Love to hear that. Love to hear more about the Epstein files. I don't know if it's surprising to the people back in Congress, but out here amongst the, I want to say normal people, but the working people, it's a big deal. People talk about that all the time. It comes up all the time.
Rep. Pfluger: It is a big deal. Well, I'm one of the normal people, I think. I like to think of myself as that, coming from a ranching family, and keeping up with high school football, and I'm about to take my middle daughter to school. I'm doing those normal things. And by the way, my family as well wants to know. We want to know. We want transparency. We've got to rebuild trust in our government. And so that means that our institutions have to act in a trustworthy manner, which for four years under the Biden Administration, they didn't do anything about fentanyl. They let the borders go completely wide open. There was no attempt to have normal justice. Instead, that was politically motivated, weaponized, and people don't trust that.
