FACT CHECK: Ashley Hinson Fought to Block the Release of the Epstein Files
ICYMI: The Gazette: “Iowa’s Ashley Hinson Opposes Effort to Force a Vote on Releasing Epstein Files”
DES MOINES – In a recent interview with KWQC, Ashley Hinson continued to face questions over her decision to block the release of the Epstein Files last year.
Here’s the truth: For months, Ashley Hinson refused to join a bipartisan effort to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files. She voiced her opposition to the effort publicly, calling it the “wrong way” and “not how we should be doing business.”
Over the last month, Iowans across the state have been grilling Ashley Hinson for working to block the release of the Epstein Files.
- Last week, Iowa parents gathered near Hinson’s 6th Annual BBQ Bash to call out Hinson’s decision blocking the files as “unsettling,” “disgusting,” and “disqualifying.”
- Earlier this month, three Iowans called into her telephone town hall demanding to know why she fought against releasing the Epstein Files.
- At the state fair, an Iowa digital creator called out Hinson for blocking the release of the files in a now-viral video right after a video circulated online of Hinson ignoring repeated questions about why she worked for months to oppose the release of the files.
