Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas) said Sunday he plans to introduce a resolution demanding files be released in the case involving financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Either @realDonaldTrump and his acolytes fueled the rumors of the significance of these Epstein files to help his campaign, or something is there!” Veasey said in a post on social platform X.

“That’s why on Monday, I’ll introduce a resolution demanding the Trump Administration release all files related to the Epstein case,” he continued. “Put up or Shut up!”

The Justice Department (DOJ) last week released a memo concluding Epstein did not keep a “client list” used to blackmail high-profile people and that there wasn’t any evidence of foul play in his death, which had previously been ruled a suicide.

President Trump has stood by the DOJ memo, even as segments of his base have made accusations of a cover-up or of failed campaign promises. Trump said on the 2024 campaign trail that he would make the Epstein files public if elected.

He has also defended Attorney General Pam Bondi who has faced fierce backlash for saying earlier this year that the Epstein list was on her desk but then appearing to suggest it did not exist in the memo released last week.
