H.Res. 577 is a House resolution demanding the Trump Administration immediately release all federal documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and their known associates. The resolution references public statements from administration officials—including Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and White House Counsel Alina Habba—who reportedly committed to releasing Epstein case files and pursuing prosecutions against individuals in his network. However, the resolution notes that on July 7, 2025, the Department of Justice announced it would not release additional documents and would not pursue charges against unnamed third parties, which the resolution characterizes as contradicting those earlier commitments. The resolution calls on Congress to exercise its constitutional authority to investigate, demands unclassified documents be released (with redactions only to protect minor victims and ongoing cases), and urges relevant House committees to examine any obstruction or delays in releasing the files. There is no funding or specific timeline mentioned in the resolution.
