The Senate has officially passed the Epstein Transparency Act to compel the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.
The Senate passed the bill by unanimous consent as soon as it is transmitted from the House at the request of Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Schumer thinks this will help the Democrats, but we are expecting some high-profile Democrats to be named in the files.
No Senators objected to his request.
WATCH:
The bill will now go to President Trump’s desk after he said he would sign it.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump on Monday said he would sign the bill into law if the House and Senate vote to pass it, adding that he’s “all for” a successful vote.
Trump’s comments came after he released a blistering statement demanding that House Republicans immediately vote to release the Epstein files, blasting Democrats for weaponizing the scandal as a distraction from his administration’s historic achievements.
“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat ‘Shutdown,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He added, “The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the Public on ‘Epstein,’ are looking at various Democrat operatives (Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship to Epstein, and the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON’T CARE!”
Trump further slammed the Democrats on Tuesday, telling reporters, “You should go and look at the Democrats, who received money from Epstein.” He added, “Larry Summers was with him all the time. That creep fund guy was with him all the time. What’s his name? Reid Hoffman,” also mentioning Bill Clinton in a absolute smackdown of an ABC reporter. “You’re going to go back and learn how to be a reporter. No more questions from you!” he scolded ABC’s Mary Bruce during an Oval Office press conference earlier.
The BBC reports:
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer asks the Senate to pass the bill – just passed by the House – to compel the release of the Epstein files by unanimous consent.
No senator objected, meaning the bill now heads to Donald Trump to sign.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, the House nearly unanimously passed the bill with just one Republican voting against it.
This is a developing story.
