The U.S. House of Representatives voted unanimously on Tuesday, November 18, to demand the Department of Justice release all files on the late convicted s-- offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The bipartisan bill was passed in a 421-1 vote and will move to a vote in the Senate, after which President Donald Trump is expected to sign it into law.
The House Voted to Release Jeffrey Epstein Files

Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in 2019.
Clay Higgins, the sole Republican to vote against the bill, took to social media to discuss his rationale behind his decision, claiming it would result in “innocent people being hurt.”
“I have been a principled ‘NO’ on this bill from the beginning. What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today. It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America. As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people – witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members,” the government official claimed.
Higgins would agree to the bill if changes were made to “properly address [the] privacy of victims and other Americans, who are named but not criminally implicated.”
Donald Trump Encouraged Republicans to Back Bill

President Donald Trump has a sudden change of heart on November 16 and pushed Republicans to back the bill.
The move came days after Trump, 79, had a sudden change of heart on Sunday, November 16, when it came to releasing the files about Epstein and encouraged House Republicans to back the bill.
“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Donald Trump Was Not Implicated in Crimes in New Emails

Jeffrey Epstein emailed his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell multiple times about Donald Trump.
Although none have implicated Trump in s-- trafficking crimes, Epstein once emailed co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump "knew about the girls," which could be a reference to the female staffers Epstein allegedly stole from the Mar-a-Lago resort for his trafficking ring.
In one email from 2011 that is believed to be about late trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre, Epstein told Maxwell, 63, "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.. (REDACTED) spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 [percent] there."
