Republican Reps Moore, LaHood Support Epstein File Transparency, Trump Tax Bill

Republican Congressmen Darin LaHood and Blake Moore have both expressed support for transparency regarding the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files, while emphasizing the need to protect victims' privacy. LaHood called for full disclosure of Epstein's flight logs, evidence, and lists, describing the crimes as unacceptable, and highlighted congressional responsibility in ensuring transparency. Moore echoed the need for transparency but cautioned against exposing victims, noting political motivations behind demands for release, particularly from Democrats. Both lawmakers praised President Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' underscoring its benefits such as permanent child tax credits, tax cuts for families and businesses, and incentives for research and development that aim to boost the economy and support middle-class Americans. Moore additionally supported Medicaid work requirements and praised Utah's management of social welfare programs, criticizing the previous Biden administration's immigration policies as detrimental. The ongoing debate over Epstein's files and the impact of the tax legislation reflects tensions within Congress as they manage policy priorities during recess.
