House votes 427 to 1 to release the Jeffrey Epstein files
The House voted overwhelmingly to release government files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. On a vote of 427 to 1, House lawmakers called for the Justice Department to publicly release the files. President Trump, who knew Epstein, had long dismissed the matter as a hoax. But he and House Speaker Mike Johnson were unable to prevent a bipartisan effort to force the files into the open. The president now says he will sign the bill if it passes the Senate.
