Identity Of The Only Man Who Opposed Release Of Epstein Files Revealed
Nearly every House Republican voted on November 18 to finally release the files connected to Jeffrey Epstein – except for one – and his identity has now been revealed.
However just one republican went against the grain, voting against the bill, and his identity has finally been disclosed.
What is the Epstein bill?
The President and his administration have faced widespread criticism in recent months over their failure to release the Epstein files, as they pledged to do during their election campaign.
Not only this, but Trump’s personal relationship with Epstein has also faced heightened scrutiny.
Emails made public last week by House Democrats alleged that Trump had spent ‘hours’ at Epstein’s house with one of his victims, and that the President ‘knew about the girls.’
Trump has denied all knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, as well as any involvement, claiming that the two had a ‘bad relationship’ in Epstein’s final years.
But what’s in the bill?
The legislation is known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405), and it demands that the Department of Justice release all the unclassified records, documents, and communications, relating to Epstein and the investigation.
Also, material would include anything related Epstein’s former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for recruiting minors to be abused by Epstein.
Also released would be flight logs and travel records.
What happens next?
Hours after the House of Representatives voted in favor of this bill, the US senate also approved the legislation.
The final stage is the President’s signature.
Trump has stated that he will sign the bill, but when that will happen is now the question on everyone’s lips.
