Rep. Robert Garcia, ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, announced an investigation into Vice President Vance's role in the Trump administration's management of Jeffrey Epstein records. The Department of Justice released more than 3.5 million pages of FBI-gathered documents on December 19, 2025, following internal White House discussions in 2025. A New York Times report placed Vance at the center of the response while other reporting indicated he supported transparency.
