House overwhelmingly passes bill to release Jeffrey Epstein files, sending it to Senate

The bipartisan bill passed 427-1 mandates DOJ to release all unclassified Epstein investigation files within 30 days, reflecting survivor-driven pressure and overcoming prior presidential opposition.

  • On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act by a 427-1 margin, compelling the Department of Justice to release remaining records on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
  • Using a discharge petition signed by every House Democrat and four Republicans, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., spent four months forcing the vote as Epstein survivors lobbied lawmakers publicly.
  • Oversight Committee disclosures show well over 60,000 pages released, Republicans published more than 20,000 estate files including emails referencing President Donald Trump as "the dog who hasn't barked".
  • The measure now goes to the U.S. Senate, where President Donald Trump said he will sign it if approved, but the chamber's 53-47 Republican majority leaves its fate uncertain.
  • For survivors and advocates, the vote is a watershed moment while some U.S. Senate lawmakers consider amendments to limit disclosures and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., urges no changes.
