The U.S. Senate on Tuesday (local time) unanimously approved a bipartisan, House-backed bill that would require the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files, according to CNN. With the Senate’s approval, no additional action is needed in that chamber, and the bill now heads straight to President Donald Trump for his signature.

Earlier the same day, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the measure in a 427–1 vote, with only Republican Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana opposing it. The legislation, supported by lawmakers from both parties, aims to ensure public transparency and deliver justice for survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse. Republican Representatives Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene held a press conference on Capitol Hill urging colleagues to back the bill. Several Epstein survivors also spoke, sharing their experiences and stressing the importance of releasing the documents.

“I want to remind the president that he can release the files today, without a vote,” Garcia said during the press conference, as reported by CNN. As the Epstein case continues to draw national attention, the House vote comes at a moment when the public debate over transparency intersects with broader political issues.
