Rep. Melanie Stansbury, who represents New Mexico’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of tweets on February 11, 2026, concerning the handling of files related to the Epstein case and alleged efforts to shield individuals implicated in them.
In her first tweet at 04:57 UTC, Stansbury shared information regarding FBI documentation about the Epstein case: “This is the FBI’s own file in the DOJ database from a slideshow it made about the Epstein Case. You can view the entire slideshow at the link.”
Later that morning, at 07:18 UTC, she directly criticized both political parties’ leadership with another post: “The White House and GOP establishment is literally shielding pedophiles right now. #ReleasetheFiles https://t.co/Mt2kJuegms”
By mid-afternoon on February 11, Stansbury emphasized support for survivors connected to these cases: “Believe the survivors. They have been telling us who is in the files for nearly 20 years. It really is that simple. https://t.co/5XIQXewuG5”
