The amendment, expected this week, would require House Speaker Mike Johnson to allow a roll-call vote on releasing the records.
The move would force each member of Congress to go on the record regarding the matter.
Khanna said the initiative in a post on X writing, “Why are the Epstein files still hidden? Who are the rich & powerful being protected? On Tuesday, I'm introducing an amendment to force a vote demanding the FULL Epstein files be released to the public. The Speaker must call a vote & put every Congress member on record."
The amendment, expected this week, would require House Speaker Mike Johnson to allow a roll-call vote on releasing the records.
Khanna's push follows years of public demands for transparency surrounding Epstein along with growing voices on both sides of the aisle to do so. The disgraced financier and convicted sex offender died in 2019 in federal custody while facing sex trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide.
The case drew international attention due to Epstein’s ties to high-profile figures, including former President Bill Clinton, President Donald Trump, and the UK’s Prince Andrew. Clinton has said he cut ties with Epstein before any allegations were made public and denied visiting Epstein’s private island.
Prince Andrew stepped back from royal duties in 2020 after facing accusations related to the scandal, which he has denied. Trump, during his 2024 campaign, vowed to release all Epstein-related documents.
Speculation once again kicked off last month when former White House special employee Elon Musk posted—then deleted—unfounded claim that the government had withheld Epstein records due to Trump being named in them. Trump responded by denying the accusation and later called Epstein “somebody that nobody cares about” in a TruthSocial post on Saturday.
Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi a limited release of Epstein-related files. A memo concluded there was “no incriminating ‘client list’” and “no credible evidence … that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals.” Investigators also stated that jail footage supported the official ruling of suicide.
