(Washington, DC) – Rep. Tim Burchett made explosive remarks regarding the still-sealed files tied to Jeffrey Epstein, saying the full, unredacted documents would “haunt you for the rest of your life.”
Speaking about crimes involving minors, Burchett argued the country needs the “guts” to carry out executions for convicted child predators.
“It’s the truth! We need to execute them. We need to quit with this nonsense of them sitting on death row for 30 years,” Burchett said.
He went further, describing the crimes as “evil” and “satanic,” adding that those responsible would “go straight to the pits of hell.”
The Epstein case continues to fuel political debate as lawmakers on both sides push for greater transparency surrounding sealed records and the identities of individuals connected to the late financier.
