President Trump has said he will sign the legislation after reversing his position on whether the documents should be released. But some critics and legal experts question whether that will be the end of the matter.
The House passed the bill by a vote of 427-1, with GOP Rep. Clay Higgins (La.) the only dissenter. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) backed the bill despite his opposition to the discharge petition that forced the vote.
The Senate later passed it by unanimous consent, sending it to Trump for a signature. A White House official reiterated to The Hill earlier Tuesday that the bill would be signed “whenever it gets to the White House.”
A group of Epstein survivors gathered with lawmakers leading the push for the files’ release for a press conference at the Capitol ahead of the vote.
Some of the women specifically went after Trump, who spent months calling the effort a “hoax” until flipping to be in favor of the release Sunday.

Trump spent his entire 2nd term trying to prevent this from happening - breaking a major campaign promise and thwarting the will of the American people. He even lied through his teeth and told us these “files” didn’t exist. Our congress is voting on imaginary documents. The JFK and 911 files must not exist either. Blondi had pretend files on her desk.
Now Trump petulently goes after our own, like Massie, Greene and Paul who dared like all of us, to want the PROMISED sunshine. Oddly these are the same few who don’t have their lips sewn to Israel’s ass. Funny how that works.
I remember when *every single* FReeper, without exception, wanted the Epstein docs exposed. Now the hypocrites and phonies come out of the woodwork and pretend they’re not hypocrites and phonies.
Watch.
I really don’t know what to think about the Epstein files. Unfortunately, they’ve taken on such a mythological character that they will be bound to disappoint when they are released. Or there will be conspiracy theories that they really weren’t all released. I’d like everything to be released so we can put this behind us. But I doubt that will happen. And part of the reason is the utter corruption of the DOJ and FBI over the past 15 years. No one trusts them anymore, even when they are managed by Republicans. So there will always be doubt.
Trump campaigned on getting the files opened. He had to play the Dems big time....but he got it done.
Like Trump, I see no reason to revisit the woke epidemic where innocent people are pilloried for merely associating with Epstein .
But we must understand ? Mao Tse Tung said all power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Well now we must confess that all power comes from the barrel of a vagina?
Trump gave in to them because of the mid term election next November.
I mean who wants to offend a bunch of vengeful Congress Critter women who want to claim victory over anyone who had previously been seen with Epstein?
Epstein is now successfully attacking our Republic and its Union from the grave. Trump was right to oppose it.
It ain't over yet...
How Trump could still keep Epstein files secret, despite House and Senate votes
The president ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to open an investigation into Epstein's connections to three prominent Democrats: former president Bill Clinton, former treasury secretary Larry Summers and the billionaire founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman.The text of the the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed Tuesday by Congress allows the DOJ to withhold or redact any records that "would jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution."
Republican Thomas Massie, who co-sponsored the bill in the House, said he's concerned about Trump's move to open what he called "a flurry of investigations" after months of the White House downplaying the Epstein case.
"I believe they may be trying to use those investigations as a predicate for not releasing the files. That’s my concern,” Massie told reporters outside the Capitol on Monday evening...
Those poor men were kidnapped and forced to have sex on Epstein Island.
Lol.
yes possible jiggery pokery but i dont think he will do that
Balderdash! Democrats will say whatever they want all the while ignoring truth and facts. That is one thing that never changes.
He's already done the first part by ordering the new investigations.
It will be seen how much gets redacted when the files are released.
YOU Sir are the one who got played
Why dont you apologize to Massie or the others who had to put up with the name-calling just because they opposed the president on ONE issue and he turned out to be right and WE warned you about it and the terrible politics
We’ll soon find out who and why he was protecting
Massie and the suvivors will take him to court if he does that it will loom large over the mid terms next year. He wont want to do this surely just to protect his buddies
This matter should be closed and events will play out/ We will see .
I don’t think Trump was opposing this. Boebert is on video saying there was no pressure from Trump to vote no at the WH meeting. That’s contrary to the “Trump opposing” narrative.
Why don’t you understand that the hoax is the Democrats making Epstein all about Trump?
Why don’t you understand that the hoax is the Democrats making Epstein all about Trump?
No he didn’t. That’s the media narrative, but it’s not reality.
Perception is reality.
What will all the Epstein files people do in a few days when they realize there’s nothing there and they’re crazed loons?
I imagine have no self awareness and look for the next thing to obsess about.
Yes people develop strong imaginations, so strong they think it’s reality.
Yes people develop strong imaginations, so strong they think it’s reality.
They believe what they want to believe.
