BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, what Members of the Democratic Caucus are doing to my right is signing a discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

They need to be released because the American public wants to see them. The fact that so many people in power don't want them released says there is something there that smells.

What smells is the fact that children, girls, were raped and sexually abused. The people who did it don't want it revealed to the American public.

We need to be open and transparent. If there are perverts among the leadership, they need to be exposed, because the American people do not respect that and will not respect anybody that engaged in that kind of conduct.

Mr. Speaker, I am going to sign the petition. I hope everybody signs the petition, and we get an unredacted copy of the files.
