US EditionSenate approves Epstein files bill, sending it to Trump’s desk
- On Tuesday, the United States Senate unanimously passed the House bill to force the Department of Justice to release all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, sending it to President Donald Trump.
- Supporters, including Rep. Adelita Grijalva, used a discharge petition and the 218th signature to force the vote after 427 to 1 House approval, supporting the bill.
- The released files include evidence from Epstein's Florida, New York, and private island properties, with the bill encompassing grand jury transcripts; DOJ would have 30 days to publish unclassified records.
- President Donald Trump reversed prior opposition and said he would sign the bill, while House Speaker Mike Johnson called it "deeply flawed" and some Republican critics warned it could harm victims and due process.
- Even after passage, lawmakers say the bill faces procedural hurdles and unclear DOJ response, and the president could veto or let it become law without a signature.
