"I have called for the full release of the Epstein files. I have provided a sworn statement of what I know. And just this week, I've agreed to appear in person before the committee. But it's still not enough for Republicans on the House Oversight Committee," Bill penned on X."Who benefits from this arrangement? It's not Epstein's victims, who deserve justice. Not the public, who deserve the truth. It serves only partisan interests. This is not fact-finding, it's pure politics," the politician went on.

"I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court by a Republican Party running scared. If they want answers, let's stop the games & do this the right way: in a public hearing, where the American people can see for themselves what this is really about," the Arkansas native concluded.
Bill was one of the many A-listers spotted in the Epstein files, with other public figures such as the former Prince Andrew, Donald, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and more also appearing in the documents.
