We will continue to center the survivors in our fight to hold those responsible for these horrific crimes. We are just getting started,” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia.

The promise was to continue Epstein-related oversight, not necessarily to complete or resolve the broader case. The evidence shows Robert Garcia was actively engaged in House oversight during his current federal term, including participation in staff inquiry and public pressure on the Bureau of Prisons regarding Ghislaine Maxwell-related issues. That constitutes a concrete continuation of the investigation within the relevant office context, so this is best scored as delivered in the same term.
