The House Concurrent Resolution No. 12, introduced by Representative Gonzlez of Dallas, calls for the release of the complete Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The resolution highlights the ongoing demand from various public figures, including current and former officials, for transparency regarding Epstein's criminal activities, particularly in light of his 2019 federal charges for sex trafficking minors and the subsequent conviction of his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. The resolution also references the controversy surrounding Epstein's earlier plea deal in 2008, which drew significant public scrutiny due to its leniency and the involvement of then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta.

The resolution expresses concern over the lack of transparency from the Trump administration regarding the Epstein case, particularly after promises were made to release comprehensive information, including a list of Epstein's associates and evidence. Despite initial claims of forthcoming disclosures, the Justice Department later stated that no new information would be released, leading to public skepticism about the administration's integrity. The resolution urges the U.S. Department of Justice and the Trump administration to fulfill their commitment to transparency by releasing the complete Epstein files and directs the Texas Secretary of State to send official copies of the resolution to President Trump and Attorney General Bondi.
