House overwhelmingly passes bill to release Jeffrey Epstein files, sending it to Senate
- On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill 427-1 requiring the Justice Department to release all unclassified records on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell after President Donald Trump dropped his opposition.
- After months of delay and GOP resistance, advocates and abuse survivors increased pressure, while the House Oversight Committee released well over 60,000 pages from prior document releases.
- The bill mandates naming individuals and entities tied to Epstein while allowing the attorney general to redact victims' personal files and notifying Congress, excluding abuse material and sensitive cases.
- Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins defended his sole House no vote Tuesday, writing `I have been a principled 'NO' on this bill from the beginning.` and drawing sharp criticism like `F--k Clay Higgins`.
- The law would force releases within 30 days, and President Donald Trump said he would sign the legislation if the Senate passes it amid possible amendments for privacy safeguards.
