https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-vote-epstein-files-release-trump-drops-opposition-2025-11-18/
WASHINGTON, Nov 18 (Reuters) - The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives voted almost unanimously on Tuesday to force the release of Justice Department files on the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, an outcome President Donald Trump had fought for months before ending his opposition.
Two days after Trump's abrupt about-face, the vote passed by 427-1, sending a resolution requiring the release of all unclassified records on Epstein to the Republican-majority Senate for consideration. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters the resolution could pass his chamber by unanimous consent, possibly later on Tuesday.

The public and increasingly bitter feud among Republicans over the Epstein files had fractured relations between Trump and some of his most ardent supporters.
Before the vote, about two dozen survivors of Epstein's alleged abuse joined a trio of Democratic and Republican lawmakers outside the U.S. Capitol to urge the release of the records. The women held photographs of their younger selves, the age at which they said they first encountered Epstein, a New York financier who fraternized with some of the most powerful men in the country.
After the vote, they stood to applaud lawmakers from the House's public gallery, some of them crying and hugging each other.
The Epstein scandal has been a political thorn in Trump’s side for months, partly because he amplified conspiracy theories about Epstein to his own supporters. Many Trump voters believe his administration has covered up Epstein’s ties to powerful figures and obscured details surrounding his death, which was ruled a suicide, in a Manhattan jail in 2019.

One of his cronies must have told him they redacted his name in the most damaging of the documents.

Gee why would a "disgraced financier" have any classified documents related to a criminal investigation
Classified documents are for things relating to national security, such as intelligencd

Typical conservative, blaming the victims

What happens if he just doesn't sign the bill, though?

i dont think that's an option if over 2/3 senate approves.

>[REDACTED]
Remember the Watergate Tapes Transcript, Trump? The precedent has been set when a president thought he could get away with fobbing off others with removing words that spelled Political Death: but did so anyway when forced to reveal the full facts.
Redact just one name, and you'll get the same.

It's definitely just
>People won't let the Epstein files go
>The government releases some of the Epstein files that don't incriminate anyone because they're the parts of no consequence while keeping the dangerous files locked up
>The general public is essentially forced to drop the matter. While I doubt most would be fooled by it, it's hard to garner support for "Release the rest of the Epstein files" when there's not even proof they exist.
There's absolutely zero chance the government just decided "oh people won't let it go, guess we have to release the epstein files that could incriminate most people of power and completely destroy the entire nation"
>>
>>1458456
In the most optimistic scenario, the uniparty has finally had enough of Trump and realize that the country is going to go up in flames if they keep him around. Trump would then have no choice but to okay the release or get caught up in gridlock. They've already been trying to push a MAGA replacement in the lead up to this. Trump's done, bring on America First

>>1458424
Becomes law in 10 days unless Congress isn't in session at the time in which case it's considered vetoed.

Given how the first votes went, though, a veto would very probably be overturned. And given he's called for this shit to be passed, I don't see him vetoing it.

That said, he can certainly jerk this shit around in court for months if not years. We'll see how well he complies.

>Trump's done, bring on America First
Trump is America First. Any jackass that would take up the mantle after him is just going to be someone dumb enough to be a Trump sycophant or dishonest enough to pretend to be one. Stop bitching about getting what you asked for.

Nick Fuentes is America First. Trump is MIGA.
>>
>>1458456
You can't release files used in an active investigation and he just asked the DoJ to investigate any and all Democrats in the files. As long as that investigation is ongoing, no files can be released. There is no deadline for investigating and no requirement for the investigation to actually proceed towards anything meaningful. They can sit on this investigation until the head of the DoJ is someone else who chooses to cancels it.
Now normally when procedures of law get in Trump's way, he sues over it or fires the people telling him he can't have his way and then installs puppets. Somehow I doubt he will do anything about it this time.
>>
>>1458489
>Nick Fuentes is America First
Nick Fuentes hates America more than Trump does. Can't really claim to be America First when you think 95% of the country are vermin that need to be expelled, killed, or reduced to a second class and the remaining 5% are idiots.

I mean you can claim it, but only a complete dipshit would believe it. Are you a complete dipshit?
>>
>>1458492
>Can't really claim to be America First when you think 95% of the country are vermin that need to be expelled, killed, or reduced
You ever read something that someone else has written, and realize that they 100% do not understand what they're talking about?
>>
>>1458491
>You can't release files used in an active investigation
You can, in fact, release files in an active investigation. You generally shouldn't and there are procedural regulations against it, but it is a thing the executive physically has the power to do.

What you can't do is ignore laws passed by Congress unless they are overstepping their Constitutional authority, which regulating Executive records does not fucking do.

As a matter of fact, I'm experiencing that right now.

He's friend with Kanye West and the Hodge Twins, retard. He's not even a white nationalist, let alone a nazi.
>>
>>1458377
This is clearly an attempt to distract the public's attention away from all the destructive things the administration is doing. Unfortunately, it will work.
>>
>>1458497
>He's friend with Kanye West and the Hodge Twins
And slave owners fucked their slaves. I'm not really seeing your point. Also, a nazi being friends with another nazi is your evidence they aren't a nazi?

Anyway, I'm gonna give you a free piece of advice, if you aren't in the outgroup you know about, you're in the one you don't know about.
>>
>>1458500
>And slave owners fucked their slaves.
Because they were being held against their will, you absolute fucking retard.
>a nazi being friends with another nazi is your evidence they aren't a nazi?
You're a communist. You think everything to the right of bernie sanders makes someone a nazi.
>>
>>1458377
i think democrats walked into a trap,
epstein was caught during the trump admin, epstein list was released during the trump admin

again:


epstein was known for decades but only trump stopped him during his administration.
then we had 4 years of democrats who didnt release the epstein files.
now we have a trump admin again and the epstein files will be released.

Democrats are morons
>>
>>1458502
don't touch kids ok shill anon
>>
>>1458502
>i think democrats walked into a trap,
Yeah, the only mention of "Trump" in the files is Epstein talking about him, because he was obsessed.

Also, Hakeem Jefferies was meeting with him AFTER he was indicted for sex crimes. Lmao.
>>
>>1458501
>Because they were being held against their will, you absolute fucking retard.
Racist slave owners wanted to fuck Black slaves because the racist slave owners were held against their will? What?
>You're a communist. You think everything to the right of bernie sanders makes someone a nazi.
Aw, did the truth hurt?

and stop talking to yourself, have a sense of shame for once
>>

And this trap required dragging this bullshit out for a year including using blatantly unconstitutional tactics like refusing to seat an elected Dem that will 1000% come back to haunt Republicans because...?
>>
>>1458507
Yeah bud, the internet is one person.

>>1458510
>And this trap required dragging this bullshit out for a year
You mean, Democrats spent a years worth of their time on an absolute nothingburger? Almost like you got played (again).
>>
>>1458502
Truth

Now when Democrats get wrecked they will move on to the next cope of "omg the list was changed and doctored" despite both parties having access to them.

No. They will completely forget about it in 72 hours and move onto the next thing that is going to Bring Down Trump™ to Save our Democracy©, they will breathlessly tell us that, for Trump, the Walls Are Closing In®

I had to put it on adobe since if they ever updated or deleted that page I would still have it

What's the logic behind every republican in the house but one voting in favor of releasing the files when months ago it was unanimous against? They just chasing those good optics cuz they know Trump is fucked?
>>
>>1458571
They had to manicure the files.
>>
>>1458571
>What's the logic behind every republican in the house but one voting in favor of releasing the files when months ago it was unanimous against?
Having it not come out is better for Republicans than having it come out, but having it come out while being against it coming out is worse than having it come out while being for it coming out.

Once it became unstoppable, they'd no longer be helping Trump. They'd only be hurting themselves.
