That is what the "District Work Period" time (when they are not in session) is set aside for.

ALL of these subjects have been discussed at these Town Halls (whether "in person" or "virtual" or "phone" ), and I expect the Epstein thing has probably come up from some constituent questions.... But little of this makes any "national media" because we are talking 500+ members of Congress and the "national media" can in no way cover all that (only the ones where near fights break out).

These events do often get highlighted in "local" media.
