House passes bill to release Epstein files

The House voted to pass a bill compelling the Justice Department to release all of the Epstein files. The bill passed with a landslide 427-1 vote, with Republican Clay Higgins voting against it. The measure will now move on to the Senate, where House Speaker Mike Johnson has called on his colleagues to make some changes to the bill, including increasing protections for Epstein's victims. Nov. 18, 2025
