The Senate passed a bill unanimously on Tuesday requiring the Department of Justice to release more files related to the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The bill now goes to President Donald Trump for his signature, as the House passed the bill earlier in the day by 427-1. The president has said he would sign the bill if it came to his desk. The Epstein Files Transparency Act would order the Department of Justice to release “in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” related to Epstein no later than 30 days after the bill’s enactment.
Trump will deliver a speech at the U.S.–Saudi Investment Forum on Wednesday, according to a schedule released by the White House. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will also be in attendance. The investment summit will include the heads of Salesforce, Qualcomm, Pfizer, the Cleveland Clinic, Chevron, and Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned petroleum and natural gas company.
