US Congress has approved a bill ordering the Justice Department to release all unclassified files on Jeffrey Epstein. The House voted 427-1, and the Senate passed it without objection. The move comes after President Donald Trump changed his stance and asked Congress to release the records. The bill requires the Attorney General to publish documents, flight logs, and internal communications within 30 days, unless they affect active investigations or reveal victim identities. The push was led by lawmakers Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna. Survivors also urged transparency, saying hiding the records was a betrayal. Trump is expected to sign the bill. (PC: BBC)
