🔗 Share this article Congress Passes Measure to Make Public Jeffrey Epstein Records The upper chamber of Congress on this Tuesday passed without delay to a measure that will require the publication of case documents concerning the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, after a almost unanimous vote in the US House of Representatives and a shift by Donald Trump and his GOP allies. The White House gave in after an extended period of trying to block the joint action involving a case that has dogged the president since his comeback to the White House. Expedited Passage in Congress The Senate acted by consensus, which requires approval from each senator but avoids a individual voting process, expediting the process. Earlier that day, the House passed by a huge margin the bill on a near-unanimous vote. Citizens have endured sufficient delay. Jeffrey Epstein’s victims have waited long enough,” the top Senate Democrat declared in a floor speech on Tuesday, before urging the Senate to pass it unanimously. “Reveal the truth. Ensure full disclosure.” Presidential Signature This legislation next goes to Trump for his approval. The president stated on Monday that he would endorse the legislation. Although the president has for an extended period dismissed the uproar over the official management of the Epstein case as a “Democrat hoax”, he expressed his backing for the House bill over the past few days, and said he would sign the measure if it is presented to him. Reaction Democrats, along with survivors of Epstein and their supporters who were present in a House gallery, applauded after the bill was passed. The sole “no” vote came from Clay Higgins, who expressed concern he was concerned the measure would make public identifying details of witnesses, persons of interest and others caught up in the investigation.
