In a rare show of bipartisan unity, the U.S. Congress has greenlit the release of long-sealed documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, the financier whose 2019 death sparked global intrigue. The House voted 427-1 on Tuesday to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act, followed hours later by unanimous Senate approval. The bill now heads to President Donald Trump’s desk for final approval.
🎯 Why it matters: This legislation forces the DOJ to disclose unclassified records about Epstein’s investigations – from emails to evidence – shedding light on one of the most shadowy chapters in recent history. Victims’ advocates and transparency activists are calling it a watershed moment.
🗣️ Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer declared: "We’re cutting through the red tape. No delays, no edits – the truth comes out." The lone House dissenter hasn’t publicly explained their vote.
🔒 Fine print: While most files will go public, the DOJ can redact victims’ identities and details that might compromise active investigations. Legal experts predict a phased rollout starting in early 2026.
🌐 Global eyes: With Epstein’s ties to powerful figures worldwide, this move could ripple through politics, finance, and entertainment. Stay tuned as NewspaperAmigo.com tracks developments. 👁️✨
