“The loudest voices screaming ‘Release the Epstein Files’ just voted to BURY the sexual harassment files of Members of Congress. Get it now?” Mace said.

“Today, only 65 of us voted to release names of congressmen who have used the sexual harassment slush fund to pay off claims against them. 357 members voted to ‘refer it to committee’ knowing that resolution ain’t ever making it out of committee,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said.
“Congress has secretly paid out more than $17 million of your money to quietly settle charges of harassment (sexual and other forms) in Congressional offices. Don’t you think we should release the names of the Representatives? I do,” Massie said in December 2024.

The Hill shared further:
In a 357-65-1 vote, the chamber moved to refer the matter to the House Ethics Committee — a move that essentially kills the effort. Thirty-eight Republicans and 27 Democrats voted against referring the resolution to the panel. Members who voted with Mace included members who have faced scrutiny over their own conduct, such as Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.).
The resolution directs the Ethics Committee to make public, within 60 days after adoption, “all reports, including any conclusions, draft reports, recommendations, attachments, exhibits, and accompanying materials, with the personally identifiable information of victims or alleged victims redacted, related to the Committee’s investigations into violations” regarding alleged sexual harassment or sexual misconduct.
Mace, who has made her personal stories of sexual assault and dating violence central to her political identity, had filed and moved to force action on her resolution in wake of Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) facing increasing scrutiny over allegations that he had an affair with one of his congressional staffers who later died in September 2025 after setting herself on fire.
“Congress has been sweeping this under the rug for far too long. Tony Gonzales may be the latest example, but he’s not the only one,” Mace said in a statement on Tuesday after she moved to force action on the resolution. “Staff deserve to come to work without being harassed by their bosses. Women deserve to be safe. And the American people deserve to know when their so-called ‘representative’ is abusing power instead of serving their constituents. No more hiding. No more excuses. It’s time to end the cover-up and drag the truth into the light.”
“Where is all the outrage from the Left now? Where are all the ‘activists’ flocking to social media to condemn our government now? Congress literally voted to cover up sexual harassment and misconduct and no one seems to care. Notice how it’s crickets when it can’t be pinned on President Trump,” Mace wrote.

“Yesterday, 357 members of Congress voted to block the release of sexual misconduct reports and the taxpayer slush fund used to pay off victims. In Oversight committee, @RepNancyMace made the motion to subpoena the records and after we fought for it, it passed. This list will now be made public for the American people to see for themselves. We did this because you deserve to know the truth,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) commented.

NBC News has more:
The Ethics Committee had encouraged members to vote to refer the resolution. In a joint statement, the Republican and Democratic leaders of the committee argued it “could chill victim cooperation and witness participation in ongoing and future investigations” and would make it harder for the committee “to investigate and eliminate sexual misconduct in the House.”
“Here and elsewhere, perpetrators of sexual misconduct should never be shielded from responsibility for their misdeeds,” Chairman Michael Guest, R-Miss., and ranking member Mark DeSaulnier, D-Calif., said.
But, they added, “victims may be retraumatized by public disclosures of interim work product, excerpts of interview transcripts, and certain exhibits. And witnesses, who often only speak to the Committee confidentially or on condition of future anonymity, could fear retaliation if their cooperation is made public.”
Mace has spoken openly about her own experiences as a sexual assault survivor, and she’s been at the center of the fight over releasing the government’s Jeffrey Epstein files. She was one of just four House Republicans who teamed with Democrats on a discharge petition last fall that circumvented her own GOP leadership and eventually led to the Justice Department’s release of the Epstein files.
