House lawmakers are expected to pass a bill Tuesday that would force the Justice Department to release its full files on Jeffrey Epstein, but even if the bill becomes law, the Trump administration could use its new investigation into Epstein’s ties to top Democrats to keep some files concealed.
House lawmakers will vote Tuesday on legislation that requires the DOJ to release its files on Epstein within 30 days of the bill becoming law, with the bill widely expected to pass by a large margin after President Donald Trump encouraged House Republicans to back the legislation.
The fact both House Republicans and the president have backed the bill passing has made it increasingly likely the measure will become law, though it’s still unclear when the Senate could vote and if they’ll approve the legislation.
