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.
- The Senate recently passed the House measure to compel DOJ disclosures on Jeffrey Epstein and sent it to President Donald Trump, following support from Schumer and House approval of 427 to 1.
- Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives cleared the bill by a near-unanimous 427 to 1 vote after supporters used a discharge petition with the decisive 218th signature following four months of effort.
- The released files include evidence from Epstein's Florida, New York, and private island properties, with the bill requiring DOJ to publish all unclassified records within 30 days.
- Republican critics warned the broad release could harm victims and witnesses, Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., cast the lone no vote, while President Donald Trump reversed prior opposition and said he would sign the bill.
- Even after passage, lawmakers warn the measure faces procedural hurdles and the Department of Justice's response remains uncertain; the president could veto or let it become law without signing.
