Congress Orders Justice Department to Release Jeffrey Epstein Files After Near-Unanimous Votes

Both chambers of Congress have agreed to order the United States Justice Department to release its files on sex offender financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The House of Representatives approved the measure in a 427-1 vote, and the Senate unanimously fast-tracked it without a formal vote.

The moves come just days after President Donald Trump reversed his position and urged Congress to vote to disclose the records following public pushback from many of his supporters.
