"House to vote on Epstein files Congress is to vote this week on whether to publish files related to a federal sex trafficking investigation into Epstein, who died by suicide in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on those charges. The disgraced financier was previously convicted of soliciting prostitution with an underage girl. Trump's critics had accused him of trying to conceal details about his own alleged wrongdoing something the president denies by opposing the vote."
"If it passes both the House and the Senate, the bill would force the Justice Department to release all documents and communications related to Epstein. Last week, the House Oversight Committee released thousands of emails and other documents belonging to the Epstein estate. It's one of many tranches of files that have been published this year in the case which has become a political headache for the Trump administration."
President Donald Trump posted that House Republicans should vote to release all files related to Jeffrey Epstein and asserted there was nothing to hide. The vote concerns publication of documents linked to a federal sex trafficking investigation into Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial and had a prior conviction for soliciting prostitution with an underage girl. Critics accused Trump of opposing release to conceal alleged wrongdoing, an accusation he denies. If passed by both chambers, the bill would compel the Justice Department to disclose all documents and communications related to Epstein. Recent committee releases have produced thousands of related emails and files.
