Houchin Files Resolution, Calls Out Democrat Epstein Stunt

July 18, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) announced the introduction of a resolution calling on the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files within 30 days, while ensuring protections for victims remain in place.

“I have always supported full transparency when it comes to the Epstein files, and I’m glad to back President Trump in that effort,” said Rep. Houchin. “Earlier this week, I refused to hand this process over to Democrats trying to exploit it for political gain. Their amendment in the Rules Committee was nothing more than a stunt—reckless and completely lacking the victim protections this issue demands.” 

Before her time in Congress, Houchin served as a case manager in child protective services and worked closely with victims of abuse. 

“I’ve seen the trauma these children endure,” said Rep. Houchin. “I refuse to let Democrats and their media allies play games that would further harm innocent victims. Anyone involved in these horrific crimes must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” 

The resolution introduced provides a clear path forward to work with the Trump Administration to: release the files within 30 days, protect the victims, and deliver the transparency the American people demand.
