Khanna, Republicans Push Trump Admin to Release Epstein Files
A group of politicians from both the Democrat and Republican parties are trying to get the government to release secret files about Jeffrey Epstein, a man who committed sex crimes.
They are using a special petition to try to force a vote.
Many people are concerned that the government is not being transparent enough and want to see the files to make sure justice is being served.
Some politicians have expressed that they feel the public deserves to know the truth.
The politicians hope to have the files released so that people can feel more comfortable that justice is equal for everyone.

They are using a discharge petition in the House of Representatives.
The petition aims to force a vote on releasing Epstein-related DOJ records.
The initiative has support from both Democrats and Republicans.
