【Latest News: U.S. Congress Passes Bill to Force Disclosure of Epstein Files】
On November 18, 2025, in Washington, the Associated Press wrote in a press release:
The U.S. Congress's Senate and House of Representatives resolutely passed a bill that forces the Department of Justice to disclose its files on Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, which shows significant recognition for efforts that have been ongoing for months to overcome opposition from President Trump and the Republican leadership.
When a small group of bipartisan representatives proposed a petition in July to bypass Speaker Mike Johnson's control over which bills can be brought to the floor, it seemed like an unlikely attempt—especially given the president's urging supporters to dismiss the matter as a "scam."
However, neither Trump nor Johnson were able to stop the vote. Now, the president has yielded to the growing momentum of the bill and even stated that he will sign it. Just hours after the House passed the bill, the Senate agreed to pass it unanimously after it was sent to the institution.
