US EditionSenate approves Epstein files bill, sending it to Trump’s desk
The bill mandates unclassified Epstein files be publicly searchable within 30 days of signing, reflecting bipartisan demand for transparency on over 1,000 alleged victims.
- On Tuesday, the United States Senate unanimously passed the House bill to compel the Department of Justice to release Jeffrey Epstein files, sending it to President Donald Trump's desk.
- After securing a decisive 218th signature, supporters used a discharge petition, and the House first cleared the measure 427 to 1, then supported by the Senate's unanimous consent.
- House Oversight's 20,000-page release last week shows evidence from Epstein's Florida, New York, private island properties and grand jury transcripts, with DOJ required to release unclassified records within 30 days.
- Republican critics warned the broad release could harm victims and witnesses, with Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., opposing the bill as dangerous to due process while House Speaker Mike Johnson urged amendments.
- Even after passage, lawmakers say the bill faces procedural hurdles and unclear DOJ response, while President Donald Trump could veto it or let it become law without his signature.
