The Democratic National Committee is launching a five-figure digital ad campaign targeting Iowa U.S. Reps. Ashley Hinson (IA-02) and Zach Nunn (IA-03). The ads will air online starting Friday and aim to pressure the two Republican lawmakers to release files related to child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The ads accuse House Republicans of shutting down Congress and leaving Washington, D.C., as part of what the DNC alleges is an effort to "bury the truth about Donald Trump鈥檚 association with a known sexual predator."
The ads also urge Iowans to contact their representatives and demand the release of the records.
The DNC claims that Iowa Republicans, who previously expressed support for releasing the Epstein files during their campaigns, are now avoiding the issue.
鈥淒emocrats are going to continue to hold the Trump administration and Iowa Republicans in Congress accountable for their failure to release the Epstein files and the cover-up that we are witnessing in real time," Tim Hogan, the DNC鈥檚 senior advisor for messaging, mobilization and strategy, said in a statement sent to 糖心vlog.
Iowa's Republican congressional members pushed back. A spokesperson for Rep. Hinson's office called the ads "a waste of money" and said that Hinson "supports full transparency and trusts the administration to deliver on that promise."
鈥淭ransparency and accountability from our government isn鈥檛 optional, it鈥檚 a duty. Jeffrey Epstein is a disgusting human being who committed horrific crimes," Rep. Zach Nunn said in a statement responding to the ads. "Victims deserve justice, not DC politicians who want to use them to score political points.鈥
Emily Tuttle, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said Republicans 鈥渨on鈥檛 be lectured about transparency by the same party that spent years hiding Biden鈥檚 decline.鈥
"Democrats had four years under Joe Biden to release these documents but only started caring once President Trump returned to office," Tuttle added.
The Department of Justice met with Epstein co-conspirator and convicted sex trafficker Ghislane Maxwell in Florida Thursday. The day prior, the House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena her to testify before the panel remotely next month.
The actions come after The Wall Street Journal reported Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Donald Trump in May that his name appears in the Epstein case files. That doesn't imply wrongdoing, but it has fueled new calls for transparency. The White House has denied the Wall Street Journal's report.
Meanwhile, lawmakers headed home Thursday for their monthlong August recess. House Speaker Mike Johnson sent members home a day early, cancelling some scheduled votes, as the Epstein controversy roiled Republicans on Capitol Hill.
