Legislation next goes to Trump who indicated he would sign bill after he and his allies backed down from opposition
The Senate on Tuesday gave swift approval to legislation that will force the release of investigative files related to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, following a near-unanimous vote in the US House of Representatives and a reversal by Donald Trump and his Republican allies who relented after months of trying to forestall the bipartisan effort involving a scandal that has dogged the president since his return to the White House.
The Senate acted by unanimous consent, which requires approval from each senator but does not require a formal roll call vote, expediting the process. Hours earlier, the House overwhelmingly approved the bill on a 427-1 tally. Once the legislation is forwarded to the Senate, it will be automatically approved.

We went from the house needs this new rep sworn in so we have enough votes, to near unanimous. Along with Trump’s about face I have to assume the edits are complete
Yes, the only hope is that the incompetence of this criminal regime will make it obvious how heavily the documents have been tampered with. The chances of this happening are not bad, especially since it is very likely that a great deal of evidence had to be concealed.
I would wager the lazy fuckers used AI to sanitize it. And we know just how accurate and effective that must be /s
I can’t wait to hear about how Joe Biden, who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave…
It’s all so fucking obvious
Whatever is left of the files after the important parts have been marked “national security relevant”. Which is what the FBI has been doing in the last months.
Yeah very obvious to me they were just stalling for time and late finishing their homework. That perfectly explains Trump changing his mind back in favor of releasing the files.
Now it’s time for Don “Veto” Corleone.
I have no idea how people think this is anything other than a waste of time .it shows you how little Americans k kw about their own system.
Yo you have a king. King can always say No.
10 years from now, fully redacted.
30 days maximum actually
Ok, 30 days, partial files, covered in sharpie, and somehow Trump will block it.
They also have to deliver a report of everything that was left out and they are only legally allowed to leave stuff out for specific reasons.
They can deem literally anything to be “of national security interest” to redact it
Specific reasons being a blanket to redact whatever they want.
Don’t hold your breath, it won’t come out intact.
Can you maybe try holding people accountable instead of giving up
Can I? I have no ability to hold them accountable. I would want to, but that’s not something that the government plans to do from now on.
How many days until this is NOT released in full do you need to finally side with me. 30? 60? 90?
The files have already been released though. The paedophiles are all out in force in the us government.
Are they hoping for a distraction from everyone’s healthcare costs doubling to quadrupling when the subsidies expire? Like if they just give us bread and circus we won’t notice how hard we’re being anally raped?
It has a provision in it that lets them censor anything they don’t like. Democrats are about to get chewed up.
Anyone with a brain already knows mentions of piggy trump will be heavily redacted.
Damn, I really expected a lone maga senator (likely unnamed) to fillibuster via email to kill it.
