Alaska's Leaders Keep Epstein Secrets

Alaska's senators and representative are sticking with a plan to keep details about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes hidden. They haven't given any reasons why. Many women who were hurt by Epstein have gone to Washington to ask for the files to be made public. But Congress, pushed by Donald Trump, is keeping them secret. Epstein hurt many women, some of them just girls. He had powerful friends in government and business. People from all political sides want the files released. Every day, more women come forward to ask for action. Why is Congress involved? Trump's attorney general and the Department of Justice seem to be hiding Trump's connection to Epstein. Letters from Trump to Epstein show they were close, but the full story isn't known. If there's nothing to hide, why keep the files secret? Republican leaders say they will investigate, but the files already exist. This feels like a way to avoid the truth. Recently, Alaska's senators voted with their party to block an attempt to release the files. Only two Republicans joined Democrats in trying to make the files public. Epstein is dead, but understanding who helped him and how he got away with his crimes is important. It could help prevent similar crimes in the future. Alaska has the highest rate of sexual assault in the U. S. Yet, the state's leaders are voting to keep secrets.
