Senate majority leader says Epstein vote will happen 'fairly quickly' in upper chamber

 

John Thune, the majority leader and top Senate Republican, said that a vote on the full release of the Epstein files will come about “fairly quickly”.

 

Speaking to reporters on the Hill after the House voted, almost unanimously, for the justice department to release their complete trove of documents relating to the disgraced financier, Thune said that it’s “not likely” the legislation will have any further amendments. This, despite calls from House speaker Mike Johnson and several GOP lawmakers, to make changes to further protect victims’ identities.

 

A reminder, provisions to redact names and child abuse materials are already part of the legislation.
