A lone voice in the House, Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins voted against the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which aims to publicly release information about the late financier's case files. The bill, which passed with near-unanimous support, would reveal details about witnesses, alibis, and family members, potentially harming thousands of innocent people. Higgins defended his decision, citing concerns about the bill's broad reveal of criminal investigative files and the risk of hurting innocent individuals. However, his stance has attracted massive backlash on social media, with many users expressing outrage and surprise at his vote. Some have even called for an investigation into his decision. Higgins has stated that he will support the bill if it is amended to address the privacy concerns of victims and others named in the files. In light of his vote, his previously controversial remarks have resurfaced, including a video from his visit to the Auschwitz concentration camp and racist comments about Haitians. The congressman's decision has sparked a heated debate, with many questioning his motives and expressing disappointment in his vote against transparency.
