US EditionMassie Warns Senate Against Changing Epstein Disclosure Bill: 'Do Not Muck It Up'
The Senate vote follows a 427-1 House approval; some lawmakers urge revisions to protect victims and whistleblowers from harm through redactions.
- After a 427-1 House vote, the U.S. Senate is preparing to vote as soon as late Tuesday on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, urging no amendments.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson urged senators to revise the Epstein Files Transparency Act to grant the attorney general authority to redact alleged victims and whistleblowers' identities, warning of new victims.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he expects quick action and could use unanimous consent requiring agreement from all 100 senators, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., urged immediate passage.
- If approved without changes the bill will go to President Donald Trump's desk, even as he said he doesn't care about the Epstein files and the White House held a briefing after emails referenced him.
- Sen. John Thune said the 427-1 House margin makes major Senate revisions unlikely, a stance echoed amid public appeals to keep the House text intact.
