Democratic-NPL on the House Epstein Vote

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
November 18, 2025

FARGO – Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to force the Department of Justice to publicly release the Epstein files in its possession. This happened because Democrats and a handful of House Republicans had the required signatures for a discharge petition to force a vote. North Dakota Rep. Julie Fedorchak did not sign the discharge petition, holding the vote up until Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva was seated. This resolution will now go to the U.S. Senate.

North Dakota Democratic-NPL Chair Adam Goldwyn said, “Julie Fedorchak has not magically found a backbone. For months, House Democrats and a handful of Republicans needed one more member of Congress to force this vote. How can she look herself in the mirror knowing that she alone could have moved this forward and she refused? She is a coward.”
