YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The House is prepared to take up the Epstein Files Transparency Act on Tuesday afternoon, which if passed, will order the Justice Department to release all files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The vote comes less than a week after a discharge petition — led by Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna — advanced after receiving the 218th vote needed to force a floor vote. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) moved the vote up on the schedule last week.

Johnson earlier Tuesday said he would vote for the bill, sharing hopes that the Senate would amend it, days after President Trump seemingly reversed his stance in support of releasing the files. If passed in the lower chamber, the measure faces other hurdles in the Senate.

Votes are scheduled to begin around 2:15 p.m. EST.
