Overview
- Trump posted on Truth Social urging a yes vote to compel the Justice Department to release Epstein records, writing, "We have nothing to hide."
- The House approved the disclosure bill 427-1 and the Senate passed it unanimously, according to coverage citing congressional tallies.
- Kimmel highlighted reports that Trump had previously worked for months to block release, including pressure on Republicans such as Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace.
- Kimmel noted the Justice Department launched a new Epstein review days before Trump’s public push for transparency, a move critics say could justify delays or redactions.
- Among emails released by House committees, a message referencing a person called "Bubba" drew attention, and Mark Epstein later clarified the reference was not to Bill Clinton.
