The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the Epstein Files Transparency Act, compelling the Department of Justice to release long-held documents related to the case. The bill swiftly moved to the Senate, where it passed with unanimous consent, ultimately landing on the President’s desk for signature.
Following the House vote, the President publicly stated his intention to sign the act, framing the release of the files as a demonstration of having “nothing to hide.” He characterized the focus on the Epstein case as a deliberate distraction, a “Democrat Hoax” intended to undermine the successes of the Republican Party.
The President’s statement went on to emphasize a shift in focus, urging Republicans to prioritize economic achievements, including gains in affordability, inflation reduction, tax cuts, and record investment. He highlighted successes in military rebuilding, border security, and other key policy areas.
He asserted that interest in Jeffrey Epstein was minimal during his lifetime and suggested that any damaging information would have been exploited by Democrats prior to the recent election. The President also expressed concern that certain members of his own party were being manipulated in connection with the matter.
The President concluded by calling for a renewed emphasis on Republican accomplishments and warned against falling into what he described as an “Epstein ‘TRAP’,” believing it to be more detrimental to Democrats than to his own party. He reiterated his signature campaign slogan, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
The swift passage of the bill through both houses of Congress signals a growing demand for transparency surrounding the Epstein case and the individuals connected to him. The impending release of the files promises to shed further light on a scandal that has captivated the nation for years.
