🔗 Share this article Senate Passes Legislation to Make Public Jeffrey Epstein Records The Senate on Tuesday quickly approved to legislation that will require the publication of case documents associated with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, after a almost unanimous vote in the lower house and a reversal by Donald Trump and his Republican allies. The White House relented after an extended period of trying to block the bipartisan effort involving a controversy that has dogged the president since his comeback to the White House. Unanimous Approval in Both Chambers Senators proceeded by consensus, which requires approval from each senator but avoids a individual voting process, expediting the process. Earlier that day, the House voted decisively for the bill on a 427-1 tally. “The American people have endured sufficient delay. The survivors have suffered long enough,” Chuck Schumer declared in a floor speech on Tuesday, before requesting the Senate to approve it without opposition. “Reveal the truth. Ensure full disclosure.” Presidential Signature This legislation next heads to the president for his signature. The president signaled on the previous day that he would sign the measure. Although Trump has for months rejected the uproar over the authorities' approach of the investigation as a “Democrat hoax”, he signalled his support for the measure over the past few days, and stated he would approve it if it is presented to him. Reaction Democrats, along with victims and their representatives who were present in a viewing area, cheered after the bill was approved. The sole “no” vote came from a Louisiana Republican, who said he feared the measure would disclose personal information of individuals involved, potential suspects and others involved in the investigation.
