Both chambers of the U.S. Congress have moved swiftly to approve the release of all government files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The House of Representatives passed the bill with a near-unanimous vote.
The legislation directs the Department of Justice to make the documents public. This action aims to provide full transparency into the federal probe of the late financier.
Just hours after the House vote, Senator Chuck Schumer secured unanimous agreement for the Senate to also pass the measure. The Senate will formally approve the bill as soon as it arrives from the House. This rapid, bipartisan support signals a strong push for public disclosure.
