Khanna asks Hinson to support full release of Epstein files

Khanna’s request

Ro Khanna has called on Ashley Hinson to back a measure seeking the full release of files tied to Epstein, the notorious sex offender. His appeal asks Hinson to support a specific action on the records rather than make a general statement about transparency or accountability.

Khanna’s request is connected to his accountability effort involving what he calls the “Epstein Class.” The immediate issue for Hinson is whether to support the proposed measure and its goal of releasing the files in full.

Backing the measure would show support for its release requirement. Khanna’s call alone does not release any records or determine what documents would become available; those outcomes depend on the measure and the formal process for considering it.

Iowa connection and next steps

The development concerns Hinson but is not directly connected to a candidate contest or election. It places a federal records question before an Iowa political figure without establishing an electoral choice for voters.

The next steps are whether Hinson responds to Khanna’s request, whether she takes a position on the measure and whether the measure advances through the process required for action. The measure’s text and any formal votes would establish the scope of the proposed release and where Hinson stands on it.

Any eventual release would also show which files are covered by the measure. Until formal action occurs, Khanna’s request remains a call for Hinson to support full disclosure of the Epstein-related records.
