Tennessee Republican Rep. Tim Burchett on Sunday again called for the release of the Department of Justice’s evidence against the late accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, part of a growing cadre of Republicans calling for transparency in the case.

Speaking with "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz, Burchett said he wanted the Epstein files to be released, but cautioned against releasing material that might expose the identities of victims and others in the files who may be innocent.

But Burchett pushed back against criticism leveled by President Donald Trump, who earlier this week called Republicans demanding the release of the documents “foolish” and baselessly claimed the Epstein files were a hoax concocted by Democrats.

“Was I a little ticked off he said that stuff? Sure, I was, but I'm a big boy, Ma'am,” Burchett said. “We're playing in the big leagues right now.”
