Breaking News: Congress Sends Shocking Epstein Files to Trump's Desk for Immediate Action
Congress has approved a bill to release files on sex offender financier Jeffrey Epstein, sending the measure to President Donald Trump's desk for signature. The House of Representatives voted 427-1, while the Senate unanimously fast-tracked the bill without a formal vote.
The bill orders the US Justice Department to release its files on Epstein, a move that comes just days after Trump reversed his position and urged Congress to vote to disclose the records. The White House has denied any wrongdoing.
The release of the files is expected to have significant immediate impact, potentially shedding new light on Epstein's connections to powerful figures, including Trump. The documents, some of which mention the president, were previously released last week, sparking public pushback from Trump's supporters.
Trump's reversal on the issue caught Republican congressional leadership off guard, as they had previously aligned themselves with the president's opposition to releasing the files. The sole House objector, Republican Clay Higgins of Louisiana, cited concerns about innocent people being hurt by the release of the information.
The bill now heads to Trump's desk for signature, with the president's decision expected to have far-reaching consequences. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
