"This is huge news. The Senate Majority Leader, John Thune, indicating that this bill, just passed the United States House by a 427 to 1 vote, now could pass the Senate as soon as tonight. In fact, that is what he just told reporters just moments ago. He said that it could move, quote, fairly quickly in the United State Senate, and that there would not be any changes because of the fact that it was approved by such a large margin."
"The White House also resisted a vote for many months here, this president ultimately coming to the side of where his party was going to support this bill, to say that it should pass the United States House and now for the first time we are getting a clear indication from John Thune himself that they indeed will try to quickly pass this bill."
The House passed legislation 427-1 directing the Department of Justice to release documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, with Rep. Clay Higgins as the lone dissenting vote. Senate leadership plans to move the bill quickly and aims to pass it without changes given the overwhelming House margin. The White House had resisted a vote for months before aligning with the measure, and House leadership had sought changes and initially resisted a vote. Advancing the bill in the Senate requires unanimous consent from all 100 senators; a single senator could object and block immediate passage.
