Congress Passes Bill Requiring Release of Epstein Records

Congress passed a bill requiring the Justice Department to release Epstein-related files, with the House and Senate both approving it. Trump, who had opposed the effort, later urged Republicans to support it. Left-leaning outlets frame passage as overcoming resistance to disclosure and as a rebuke to Trump. Center outlets mainly track the votes and Trump's reversal, with some describing passage as a political rebuke. Right-leaning outlets foreground Trump's eventual backing and, in some articles, partisan conflict around the measure.
