US House of Representatives votes to release Epstein files

The US House of Representatives voted in favor of a bill to force the Justice Department to release all files and evidence held against disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The vote was a remarkable show of approval of an effort to overcome opposition from US President Donald Trump and the Republican leadership.

When a small bipartisan group of House lawmakers filed a petition in July to maneuver around House Speaker Mike Johnson's control over bills reaching the House floor, it appeared to be a difficult endeavor, especially after Trump urged his supporters to dismiss the issue as a "hoax."

But both Trump and Johnson failed in their efforts to prevent the vote. The president has said he will sign the bill if it is approved by the Senate, the upper house of the US Congress./ CNA
