Did North Dakota lawmakers vote against releasing the Epstein files as of August 2025?

As of August 2025, there was no record that North Dakota’s congressional
delegation voted against releasing documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.

In July 2025, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) introduced an amendment
calling for a vote to release the Epstein files. No vote taken on the amendment.

Similarly, House Resolution 577, which also demanded the
release of Epstein-related records, was referred to committee but never
advanced to a floor vote. As a result, North Dakota lawmakers had no
opportunity to vote “no.”

Official roll-call records contain no indication of
opposition from Sens. John Hoeven or Kevin Cramer or Rep. Julie Fedorchak.

Separately, the House Financial Services Committee blocked
another amendment to force disclosure, and Speaker Mike Johnson delayed a full
floor vote until after recess. Neither action involved North Dakota’s
lawmakers.

Fedorchak issued a statement supporting release of the
files, and Hoeven and Cramer also signaled support for transparency.
