Darrell Issa: Senate Must Amend Epstein Files Bill to Protect Innocent Individuals

Flaws in the Epstein Files Transparency Act

• 💡 Representative Darrell Issa acknowledges that HR 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, will likely pass the House but is flawed.
• ⚠️ He emphasizes that the bill must be amended in the Senate before it reaches the President's desk to ensure proper protections.

Protecting Innocent People

• 🎯 The primary concern is to protect innocent individuals who could be inadvertently named or affected by the bill's current wording.
• ⚖️ Amendments are needed to properly safeguard the tradition of the grand jury and shield those not involved.

Intent vs. Execution

• 📌 While the intent of the bill may be to bring transparency, the current language is not properly written to achieve this without unintended consequences.
• 🗣️ Issa calls on the Senate to address these issues, ensuring that the bill protects victims and avoids harming innocent parties.

Presidential Support and Necessary Changes

• ✅ President Trump has indicated he will sign the bill, but Issa stresses that changes are crucial before it is sent to him.
• 🕊️ The focus should remain on the victims and ensuring that Epstein's death does not lead to the naming or harm of innocent people associated with the case.
