Schumer asked for unanimous consent. No one objected.
Bill will be on Trump’s desk within hours or days?

I just requested unanimous consent on the Epstein bill. Not a single Senator dared to object.
It is time for transparency, it is time for the truth to come out, and most importantly it is time for justice for the victims who fought so hard for this. pic.twitter.com/5RTxoYZRbj

The Senate late Tuesday afternoon agreed to unanimously approve the House bill that calls for the Justice Department to release its Jeffrey Epstein files bill.
When the bill arrives from the House, it will be deemed immediately passed by the Senate and sent to President Donald Trump’s desk.
The unanimous action by the Senate means there will be no amendments or changes to the bill as House Speaker Mike Johnson and other members of his Republican leadership team had been urging.
Trump said on Monday that he will sign the bill should it reach his desk.
“I’m all for it,” Trump said.
But in a post on his social media platform Tuesday afternoon, the president said he doesn’t “care when the Senate passes the House Bill, whether tonight, or at some other time in the near future,” and that he wants Republicans to stay focused on his agenda.
