House and Senate send bill to release Epstein files to Trump's desk

Rep. Jasmine Crockett accused Lee Zeldin, the Trump EPA Administrator, of accepting donations from an individual named Jeffrey Epstein. However, records indicate that the Epstein in question is not the notorious financier and convicted sex offender, leading to a clarification from Zeldin's camp.

The US Senate has passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandates the Justice Department to release all unclassified materials related to Jeffrey Epstein. The bill now awaits President Donald Trump's signature. Both Democrats and Republicans have praised the courage of Epstein survivors in bringing this issue to light.

The U.S. Congress has formally approved the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, with the Senate voting in favor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson criticized President Trump for his treatment of female reporters, particularly during incidents where he reacted negatively to questions about his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

A Republican effort to censure Democratic Delegate Stacey Plaskett for her text exchanges with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing failed on the House floor. The motion, which aimed to formally reprimand Plaskett and remove her from the House intelligence committee, was rejected by a vote of 209 to 214. This incident has sparked accusations of a deal among party leaders to shield members from ethics controversies.
