Republican lawmakers are urging President Trump to release the Jeffrey Epstein Files, just days after President Trump ordered the declassification of the assassination records of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TENN)and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn) are leading the charge for the release of the Epstein Files.

In a statement to The Daily Mail, Sen. Blackburn shared she is pushing for the Trump administration to redact convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs fully.

Blackburn, in a statement on X, shared, “Jeffrey Epstein built a disgusting global sex trafficking network that caused irreparable damage to countless women.”

“Americans deserve to know exactly who was affiliated with this network. This is not about celebrities – this is about what happened to victims and survivors,” added Blackburn.

Per The Daily Mail:

Donald Trump is being urged to release the Jeffrey Epstein files a day after he signed an executive order divulging all files related to John F. Kennedy’s murder.

Tennessee Republicans Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Rep. Tim Burchett revealed to DailyMail.com they are pushing to have evidence on the nefarious financier unveiled.

The senator has been advocating for the sealed Epstein documents to be released for years, an effort Burchett joined early on.

Blackburn has pushed to uncover unredacted versions of Epstein’s flight logs and and an unredacted version of Ghislaine Maxwell’s ‘little black book’ full of contacts and addresses – an effort she’s now seeking Trump to act on.

In an interview last year with Fox & Friends, Trump stated he planned to release the Epstein files once elected as President.
