Congress Approves Epstein Records Disclosure Bill, Sending It to Trump

The legislation heads to the president after bipartisan votes mandated a 30‑day release of non‑classified files with narrowly defined redactions.

Overview

  • The House passed the measure 427–1 and the Senate approved it unanimously, moving the bill to the president for signature.
  • The Department of Justice would have 30 days to publish non‑classified records related to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and associated persons, including flight plans and passenger lists.
  • The bill bars withholding on grounds of political sensitivity but permits temporary redactions to protect victims’ privacy or ongoing federal investigations.
  • President Trump first pressed Republicans to block a vote, then reversed course and endorsed the bill, saying, "We have nothing to hide."
  • Pressure for disclosure intensified after Democrats released Epstein emails and victims demanded transparency, even as prior DOJ–FBI reviews reported no "client list" or new evidence of blackmail.
