Unlocking Epstein's Secrets: Senate Moves Swiftly

The Senate made a big move on Tuesday. They agreed to pass a bill without any changes. This bill is about releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein. The House had already approved it with a huge majority. The Senate didn't even debate it. They just said yes. Some people wanted changes. House Speaker Mike Johnson was not happy. He thought the bill needed amendments. But the Senate didn't listen. They passed it as it was. Now, it's heading to President Trump's desk. He has said he will sign it. Meanwhile, Democrats and Epstein survivors were happy. They cheered when they heard the news. The bill asks for all unclassified records about Epstein to be made public. This includes documents about his crimes, settlements, and any officials involved. But some details, like victims' names, won't be shared. The Justice Department hasn't said how they will handle this. They started a new investigation into Epstein's ties with high-profile Democrats. This could affect what gets released. It's unlikely everything will be made public. Some files might stay hidden due to ongoing investigations or executive privilege claims. Earlier, Senator Thune said the Senate wouldn't change the bill. He pointed out that the House passed it almost unanimously. And the president supports it. So, there was no reason to amend it. Johnson wasn't thrilled, but he couldn't stop it.
