The U.S. House of Representatives is preparing for a vote next week on a bill that would release documents tied to the late Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation. This comes after months of resistance from Republican leaders, but the measure gained momentum after a petition reached the required 218 signatures.
The vote follows renewed interest in Epstein’s connections, sparked by newly surfaced emails. One 2019 email reportedly shows Epstein claiming that former President Donald Trump “knew about the girls.” While Trump has denied wrongdoing, the White House accuses Democrats of leaking the emails to damage his reputation. Epstein was known to have associated with numerous high-profile figures, including politicians, tech entrepreneurs, and entertainers.
The push for transparency is being led by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY), who introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act in July. The petition to force a vote received backing from all House Democrats and a few Republicans, including Massie, Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and Nancy Mace (R-SC).
The upcoming vote will allow constituents to see how their representatives stand on making Epstein-related documents public.
