House Set to Vote on Bill to Release Epstein Investigation Files

A bipartisan bill requiring the Justice Department to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking investigation is expected to receive significant support in the House this week. Representatives Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) introduced the legislation, which would create a searchable database of Epstein-related files while allowing redactions for victim information and ongoing investigations. The bill reached the House floor through a rare successful discharge petition that gathered 218 signatures, bypassing leadership opposition.
