13. Sorry, but the Epstein files will not be released
Sun Nov 9, 2025, 09:24 PM
Nov 9

The bill to release the files will presumably pass the House, but it would still need to be passed by the Senate and signed by Trump before it becomes law. So it's not going to get the files released. What it will do is force Republicans to all go on the record as either supporting Epstein's victims, or supporting the pedophiles named in the report. Believe me, many of them DON'T want to be forced to do this.
