- Mike Pence calls for full release of Epstein files, demanding transparency from the administration.
- “Anyone who participated or was associated with this despicable man ought to be held up to public scrutiny,” Pence says.
- Pressure mounts on the DOJ as skepticism grows over secrecy and lack of accountability in the Epstein case.
Former Vice President Mike Pence is joining the growing chorus calling for full transparency on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Pence didn’t mince words when he addressed the issue, making it clear that the time for secrecy is over.
“The time has come for the administration to release all of the [Epstein] files,” Pence stated, adding that accountability should be non-negotiable. “Anyone who participated or was associated with this despicable man ought to be held up to public scrutiny.”
Pence’s comments come amid mounting frustration from Americans demanding answers about Epstein’s powerful network and the circumstances surrounding his death in 2019. The Department of Justice recently reiterated its position that Epstein committed suicide and that no so-called “client list” exists. But with public skepticism at an all-time high and new questions emerging about the investigation, those assurances aren’t calming concerns.
Calls for disclosure have intensified after Attorney General Pam Bondi’s previous statement that a client list was “on [her] desk,” a claim now contradicted by the DOJ’s latest memo. Pence’s strong words add pressure on the Trump administration to deliver the transparency voters are demanding.
For many Americans, this is about more than one man. It’s about restoring trust in government, holding the powerful accountable, and proving that no one — no matter their wealth or influence — is above the law. Whether these files see the light of day could define how serious Washington really is about justice.
