House lawmakers are expected to approve legislation this week that would force the Trump administration to release its files on Jeffrey Epstein, potentially teeing up the documents to be released within weeks—though while President Donald Trump said Monday he’d sign the legislation if it comes to his desk, it remains to be seen how the Senate will proceed.
The House is expected to vote Tuesday on the bill that would require the Department of Justice to release its full files on Epstein within 30 days of the bill becoming law.
Trump encouraged House Republicans to sign the bill in a social media post Sunday night—marking an about-face after the president reportedly tried to keep the measure from coming up for a vote—and told reporters Monday he’ll sign the bill if it comes to his desk.
