U.S. House of Representatives votes to release Epstein files - House Votes to Unseal Thousands of Epstein’s Sex Trafficking Files
The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to release tens of thousands of pages linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal case. The files include emails, texts, and records tied to his sex trafficking network. Lawmakers backed the move with strong bipartisan support.
The documents stem from the investigation into Epstein, a convicted sex offender who exploited young women and minors for years. Among the records are communications allegedly connecting him to powerful figures, including former President Donald Trump.
The House’s decision now moves to the Senate for approval. If passed, the files will still require President Biden’s signature before becoming public. Without both steps, the release remains uncertain.
The vote marks a push for transparency in a case involving high-profile names. But the files will only be published if the Senate and President Biden agree. Until then, their contents stay sealed.
