Requesting and encouraging a full, complete, and transparent investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein files.
This House Resolution (HR 17) requests federal authorities - including the Justice Department and FBI - to conduct a full, transparent investigation into Jeffrey Epstein-related files and release non-classified records. It specifically urges special attention to any individuals or entities with ties to West Virginia, such as public officials or businesses. The resolution aims to restore public trust by ensuring accountability for potential violations of state law connected to Epstein’s activities. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new legal requirements but formally encourages federal action.
