Republican House Set to Unveil Epstein Investigation Files

The U.S. House is poised to vote on releasing Epstein investigation files after Trump's reversal of opposition. Trump aims to redirect focus to pivotal issues but assures no connection to Epstein's crimes. The release aims to shield victims while unveiling Epstein's ties to public figures.

This Tuesday, the Republican-led U.S. House is expected to vote on forcing the release of files from the investigation into the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Following President Donald Trump's sudden reversal, the vote is poised for approval.

Trump, who initially resisted revealing additional investigative files, now asserts Republicans should vote for their release, dismissing the issue as a 'hoax' from Democrats. He aims to refocus attention on cost-of-living matters important to voters.

While the vote could dispel allegations linking Trump with Epstein, the resolution includes protective measures for victims' identities. If passed by the House, the proposal requires Senate approval before presidential ratification, amid concerns over potential delays by the Justice Department.
