la repp. Lucius dubignon clay Higgins was the only if representative to vote against the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files at the US House on Tuesday. Shortly after the vote, Higgins explained his decision in a post on X. The motion to release the files was passed with 425 in favor and one, i.e. Higgins, against. Seven House Reps did not vote.
The Republican said that he is against the bill in principle as it abandons the provisions of the criminal justice system in the US.
" I have been a principled “NO” on this bill from the beginning," Rep. Higgins wrote. "What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today.
"It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America. As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people – witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc.
"If enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files, released to a rabid media, will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt," he added.
