On Tuesday, both, House of Representatives & Senate took the significant step of ordering President Donald Trump’s Justice Department to publicly release all of its investigative files into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, after months of nasty infighting within the Republican GOP.
The House voted 427-1 to pass the measure, with Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana the only member voting against it.
Now, the bill must head for Trump's desk. The president has said he’ll sign the bill if Congress passes it, after months of calling the issue a “Democratic hoax.”
Trump's decision came after a heated dispute between him and one of his once most loyal female supporters, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who decided to break with Trump and support instead the case of Epstein victims. Further more, she accused Trump of promoting business chances to foreign countries.
The disclosure of the Epstein files is feared to endanger the reputation of further high-ranking members of US society, possibly including Trump himself.
As to jobs lost for US citizens in the frame of Trump's business scheme of promoting chances to foreign governments, California Governor Newsom blew the fuse:
asked why not release the Epstein files when he regards himself as not being involved.
