STATE OF HAWAII

SENATE RESOLUTION

urging the president of the united States and united
states congress to take action to release all federal records related to the
jeffrey epstein investigations with limited redactions solely to protect the
privacy and safety of victims
.

����
WHEREAS, for
decades, the heinous crimes of Jeffrey Epstein were known only through rumor
and limited reporting, while he operated a vast human
‑
trafficking
and abuse network that exploited underage girls and other vulnerable
individuals; and

����
WHEREAS, it
has been reported that Epstein victimized more than one thousand women and
girls; and

����
WHEREAS, although
Ghislaine Maxwell, a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has been prosecuted
for her role in this criminal enterprise, many other individuals who
participated in or helped conceal these crimes have not been held accountable;
and

����
WHEREAS, Epstein
maintained close connections with high-profile individuals across the world,
including figures in major industries such as technology, finance, real estate,
and government; and

����
WHEREAS, the
public � and especially the survivors of Epstein's abuse � deserve full
transparency regarding who was involved in these crimes and how they were
allowed to continue for so long; and

����
WHEREAS, bipartisan
federal support for transparency has already been demonstrated through House Bill
4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires the United States
Department of Justice to release all unclassified documents, communications,
and investigative materials related to the Epstein case; and

����
WHEREAS, although
this legislation was signed into law on November 19, 2025, reports indicate
that the Department of Justice has failed to adequately protect survivors'
identities, including by releasing unredacted names and photographs of victims
� some of whom were minors or individuals who had not publicly revealed their
identities; and

����
WHEREAS, at
the same time, the Department of Justice has redacted names and email addresses
of individuals who communicated with Jeffrey Epstein, including messages
referencing underage girls, despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act
prohibiting redactions for reasons related to political sensitivity,
reputational harm, or embarrassment; and

����
WHEREAS, reports
further indicate that the Department of Justice has signaled that no further
prosecutions are expected, raising substantial concern regarding whether the Department
is unwilling or unable to fully enforce the law and pursue accountability for
all perpetrators; and

����
WHEREAS, given
these circumstances, the President of the United States and United States
Congress must take action to release all Epstein
‑
related records with only
those redactions necessary to protect the identities and privacy of victims to
ensure full transparency, accountability, and justice; now, therefore,

����
BE IT
RESOLVED by the Senate of the Thirty-third Legislature of the State of Hawaii,
Regular Session of 2026, that the President of the United States and United
States Congress are urged to take action to release all federal records related
to the Jeffrey Epstein investigations with limited redactions solely to protect
the privacy and safety of victims; and

����
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED that the United States Congress is requested to investigate all
individuals implicated in the Epstein files and compel those individuals to
testify under oath; and

����
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED that certified copies of this Resolution be transmitted to the
President of the United States, Speaker of the United States House of
Representatives, President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate, and Hawaii's
congressional delegation.
