Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution demands the immediate release of all Federal documents regarding Jeffrey Epstein. The text cites various statements from administration officials promising full disclosure of the case. It follows a Department of Justice announcement stating that no further disclosure of the case was warranted. The resolution asserts that the House of Representatives has the constitutional authority to investigate such matters. It seeks the release of files, flight logs, and evidence concerning Epstein and his associates. Finally, it calls for a report on any potential suppression or destruction of evidence.
