Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) introduced on Thursday a resolution that mandate the release of all available court documents relating to the Jeffrey Epstein case. The resolution was immediately shot down by Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), however, who immediately attempted to put the blame on Republicans.
“As I said before, we want transparency. But the courts control the grand jury. The judges that oversee the courts control the grand jury. We, in this body, can have resolutions back and forth and suggest that they be done,” Mullin said on the Senate floor. “But truthfully, the judges have to do it. AG Bondi and the president have both already called upon the judges to release this information.”
The senator then explained that his resolution is essentially an affirmation of that view and is intended to entice federal judges in Florida and New York — who have control over the documents in question — to release them. He then asked for unanimous consent to pass the resolution.
Gallego then blocked the measure and accused Republicans of blocking the release, even though any resolution passed in the chamber would be non-binding. “Surprise surprise… Republicans just blocked my attempt to release the Epstein files. I even tried to work with them, and they wouldn’t budge,” Gallego, who had not mentioned the Epstein case once until this month, posted on X.
“This is a betrayal of the American people. I’ll keep the pressure on.”
