South Dakota Rep. Dusty Johnson said Tuesday that he will vote to compel the Justice Department to release all of its files on Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financier accused of having sex and trafficking underage girls.

My heart goes out to the victims, and I hope proper action is taken to protect their identities.”
