The U.S. Senate has unanimously approved the Epstein Files Transparency Act, clearing the way for President Donald Trump to sign a mandate forcing the Department of Justice to release all unclassified Epstein-related documents within 30 days. The bill — sponsored by Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna — requires the DOJ to publish investigative materials, communications, and records in a searchable public database. Its swift Senate passage followed an overwhelming House vote, ending months of internal conflict as lawmakers bypassed leadership through a rare discharge petition.

Trump, who long resisted calls for full disclosure, abruptly changed course and urged Republicans to support the measure, declaring they had “nothing to hide.” Once signed, the DOJ will be required to release non-classified FBI summaries, financial files, witness statements, and communications with Epstein’s associates, with redactions only to protect victims. While Republicans celebrate the bill as a victory for transparency, critics argue it doesn’t go far enough, since classified files will remain sealed. Still, bipartisan momentum suggests the public will soon see more of the Epstein network than ever before — and the political fallout is only beginning.
