U.S. Congress pushes for transparency in Epstein investigation

The House is heading toward a vote on a bill that would force the Justice Department to release the case files it collected on the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Lawmakers are pushing past a months-long effort by President Donald Trump and Republican leaders to block the measure. Many lawmakers say the Justice Department needs to release its files on Epstein, arguing that they could reveal whether other individuals were aware of or complicit in Epstein’s sexual abuse.
