Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday joined calls for the Trump administration to release more files in the case involving disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In an interview on CBS News’s “The Takeout,” Pence called for greater transparency out of the White House, while stressing the importance of protecting the names of victims involved.

“The time has come for the administration to release all of the files regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s investigation and prosecution,” he told host Major Garrett.

“It’s important that we protect the names of the victims,” he continued. “They should be excluded from any disclosure, but whether or not the facts justify charges, I think that anyone who participated or was associated with this despicable man ought to be held up to public scrutiny.”

Pence added, “I just think we ought to get the facts to the American people. I mean, I’ve always believed in transparency.”
