House approves Epstein files bill in near-unanimous vote.

427-1.

The legislation is now on track toward the desk of President Donald Trump, who spent months trying to kill it.

The 427-1 vote came after a long campaign to circumvent House Republican leaders and White House officials who fought tooth and nail to convince members of their party to oppose the measure. As Democrats sought to stoke division in the GOP over the administration’s decision to withhold further information in the Epstein case, the issue proved increasingly toxic for Republicans — and Tuesday’s vote became inevitable.

Only Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.), a fervent Trump loyalist, voted against it. Victims of Epstein who had gathered in the House gallery cheered as the vote closed.

@whowasthatmaskedman in case you missed it. Which you more than likely did because CNN, MSLSD , ABC,NBC,CBS DONT TELL YOU BUT DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN BLOCKING THE RELEASE OF THE FILES. Do you think if Trump was worried about being in the files he would say this?
Administration Involvement: President Trump has stated he supports the "full release" and maximum transparency, indicating he would sign the bill into law. The Department of Justice has also stated it is working to produce relevant records while redacting victim information. Now if Trump was in the files that would put him in any jeopardy that he would actually get them to put the bill in his desk to sign? You need to stop living in that delusional fairytale that you have been brainwashed into believing by all the fake media

@Prison1203 You may think this is between you and I. But you would be mistaken. This is showing the audience of all franchises just how rabid someone supporting your viewpoint has to sound to keep an argument going. I leave that to others to judge. But on another point.. You keep very odd hours for someone supposedly living in the US.. Just sayin'..😷

@Prison1203 I see you got your copy of the talking points. Congrats. Next week a memo will be urging you to claim the president has been fighting for months to have the documents released.

@Prison1203 Trump changed his tune when the release became inevitable. He fought like hell to keep the files hidden for as long as he could. Hell he begged Boebert and Green to change their positions. When Green wouldn't go along he changed tactics and threatened her.

@MoveAlong the democrats fought to release them for days

wildland

@Prison1203 Of course they did. And the Republicans refused again, and again, and again...

@Prison1203 I know you actually believe what you are saying but every Dem in the House signed on to bring a vote to the floor to release the files along with 4 Rs.

Prison1203 · 61-69, M

@MoveAlong yes after months of waiting for them, seems like the only ones being implicated so far have been dems. Wonder why

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@Prison1203 You mean the only ones mentioned for investigation by Trump are Democrats. For the record, anyone with a relationship with Epstein should immediately be suspended from office and isolasted from influence and funding. No matter which side they are on. But that aint going to happen..😷

Prison1203 · 61-69, M

@whowasthatmaskedman Trump got rid of his relationship with Epstein before he entered politics, yet Schiff, Schumer and more had a real relationship with him while in office and no, I mean the ones that were mentioned in the files

@Prison1203 That story would sound better if you started it with Önce upon a time"and ended it with "They all lived happily ever after" And if I was"not aware of the actual financial dealings that broke their relationship, leaving Trump with an overpriced White Elephant he lost money on..😷
