Senate passes Epstein Files Transparency Act via unanimous consent
Hours after the House's 427-1 vote, the Senate passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act via unanimous consent, sending it to Trump's desk. No senator objected—remarkable for such a sensitive issue. The bill requires DOJ to release all Epstein files with limited redactions only for ongoing investigations or national security. Trump indicated he would sign it, completing Congress's effort to force transparency the administration had resisted through its controlled February release.
