BREAKING: In a 427-1 vote, the US House of Representatives has passed a bill to release the Epstein files.
The bill now heads to the Senate.

The House on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to pass a bill directing the Department of Justice to release the files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a move that came after months of intense opposition from President Trump and GOP leaders.
The vote was a lopsided 427-1, with Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) casting the lone “no” vote. But that tally belied the months of fierce fighting — both between the parties and within the GOP — that preceded it.
Over the weekend, after it was clear many Republicans would vote for the measure, Trump abruptly reversed himself to say he supported it, writing on Truth Social that “it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics.”
