A town hall with Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) erupted on Monday after the congressman was asked why his party was “covering up” files related to the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Why are you covering up the Epstein files?” asked a member of the audience as the room erupted into applause and shouting.

Flood responded, “Let’s be very clear. At the next pro forma session of Congress, you’ll find my name as a sponsor on a resolution from the House Rules Committee to release the Epstein files, to protect the victims and not re-victimize them again.

Flood’s remarks did little to quell members of the audience, who continued to shout down the congressman.
