After months of fierce Republican infighting and White House resistance, Congress forces sweeping disclosure of government-held Epstein records—opening a new chapter in a scandal that has fractured the GOP base.
WASHINGTON | In a dramatic and politically charged climax to months of partisan tension, the U.S. Senate on Tuesday approved a landmark bill compelling the Department of Justice to release long-withheld documents related to the federal case against Jeffrey Epstein. The move came just hours after the House overwhelmingly passed the legislation on a 427–1 vote, sending the bill to President Donald Trump’s desk for final approval.The Senate cleared the legislation by unanimous consent, meaning every senator agreed to advance it without a formal roll call vote—an unmistakable sign of bipartisan urgency and public pressure.
