Epstein files bill passes House, heads to Senate for approval

The House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to compel the Justice Department to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein, marking a significant bipartisan victory for lawmakers and survivors seeking transparency. Despite initial resistance from President Donald Trump, who dismissed the effort as a "Democrat hoax," the bill gained momentum with Republican support and passed amidst party tensions. Survivors of Epstein's crimes, advocating for accountability, witnessed the vote, with the bill now moving to an uncertain fate in the Senate. If successful, President Trump has indicated he will sign it into law.
