US lawmakers are moving forward with a bill to release government records related to Jeffrey Epstein, despite strong opposition from President Trump. The House of Representatives is expected to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would compel the publication of unclassified documents about the investigation into Epstein's crimes and death. The push for transparency has created rare divisions among Republican leaders, with many breaking ranks to support the bill. Trump, who initially opposed the release, reversed his stance under mounting pressure, stating he now supports making the files public. The debate has reignited scrutiny of Epstein's connections to powerful figures, including both Trump and Bill Clinton, as well as renewed calls for accountability and openness in one of the country's most notorious cases.
