House Passes Bill Paving Way for Full Epstein Files Release
The U.S. House of Representatives has moved closer to public disclosure of the Jeffrey Epstein case files by passing the Epstein Records Release Act with a decisive 427-1 vote. The legislation requires the Justice Department to publish all documents related to the Epstein case, marking a significant step toward transparency.
The bill now advances to the Senate for a final vote. If approved without changes, it will be sent to the President for signature, after which the Attorney General will have 30 days to make the files publicly available online in a searchable and downloadable format. Based on this timeline, the documents could be released as early as mid-December.
The near-unanimous House vote reflects strong political support and public demand for clarity regarding Epstein’s network. Only Representative Clay Higgins voted against the bill, citing concerns for the privacy of individuals named in the files who were not criminally implicated.
The release of these documents is expected to shed light on long-sought details of the Epstein case, providing answers that have been demanded by the public and media for years.
