US EditionHouse expected to vote on bill forcing release of Jeffrey Epstein files
The bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act aims to compel the Justice Department to release all unclassified documents within 30 days, backed by growing survivor and bipartisan support.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on whether to release Department of Justice files about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with procedural votes starting at 10 a.m. ET.
- A bipartisan discharge petition led by Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie reached 218 signatures to force a House vote after months of pressure following the July 7 DOJ memo.
- The House Oversight Committee's release shows more than 20,000 pages including emails where Epstein said President Donald Trump `knew about the girls.`, with victims' names redacted.
- President Donald Trump said he would sign a bill if passed, and with 400 votes the Senate would face pressure, though a Department of Justice probe could block the release.
- More than three-quarters of Americans want the files released, and House Republicans' vote marks their first major break with President Donald Trump this year, who backed it last-minute on Sunday.
