Congress Passes Measure to Make Public Jeffrey Epstein Documents
The upper chamber of Congress on Tuesday gave swift approval to legislation that will require the publication of official records associated with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, following a overwhelming vote in the lower house and a shift by Donald Trump and his GOP allies. The White House changed course after months of trying to delay the cross-party initiative involving a scandal that has plagued the president since his comeback to the White House.
Expedited Approval in Both Chambers
The Senate acted by consensus, which requires approval from each senator but does not require a individual voting process, speeding up the process. Hours earlier, the House passed by a huge margin the bill on a massive majority.
Citizens have waited long enough. The survivors have suffered long enough,” Chuck Schumer declared in a Senate remarks on Tuesday, before asking the Senate to adopt it by consent. “Reveal the truth. Allow openness to prevail.”
Future Action
The measure next heads to the president for his approval. Trump indicated on Monday that he would approve the bill.
Although Trump has for months dismissed the uproar over the authorities' approach of the investigation as a “Democrat hoax”, he expressed his backing for the measure over the past few days, and announced he would approve it if it is presented to him.
Reaction
The Democratic party, along with victims and their supporters who were present in a viewing area, broke into applause after the bill was passed. Lone dissent came from a Louisiana Republican, who stated he feared the measure would disclose identifying details of individuals involved, those under scrutiny and others caught up in the investigation.
