WASHINGTON, D.C.-- U.S. Representative Austin Scott (GA-08) released the following statement on his vote to advance a House Resolution to publicly release certain documents, records, and communications related to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein:

“I was proud to sponsor and support this Resolution which will require the release of credible information, protect whistleblowers and victims of sexual abuse, and finally shine a light on the full details of everyone involved in the despicable acts connected to Jeffrey Epstein. The American people deserve the truth and the victims deserve to be protected, not used as a political stunt as they have been all week,” said Rep. Scott.
