Congress Passes Ro Khanna's Epstein Files Bill, Trump Signs It

Outlets agree that Khanna worked with Thomas Massie and other lawmakers to advance a bill requiring the Justice Department to release Epstein-related records, and that the House passed it. Left-leaning outlets examine whether the vote could raise Khanna’s profile and scrutinize his claims of cross-party influence. Center outlets focus on his bipartisan organizing and, in several stories, its implications for broader coalition-building. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the push for disclosure without amendments while also reporting concerns about protecting people named in the files.
