Back<\/span><\/p>\n transcript<\/p>\n \u201cOn this vote, the \u2018yeas\u2019 are 427, the \u2018nays\u2019 are one. Two-thirds being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed and without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table.\u201d \u201cTo the president of the United States of America, who is not here today, I want to send a clear message to you: While I do understand that your position has changed on the Epstein files, and I\u2019m grateful that you have pledged to sign this bill, I can\u2019t help to be skeptical of what the agenda is.\u201d \u201cThis was a fight that we should have never had to wage. It should have been the easiest thing for every single member of Congress. It should have been the easiest thing for the speaker of the House. It should have been the easiest thing for the president of the United States to release all the information, every single file, on behalf of these American women.\u201d \u201cWe had to drag this leadership here kicking and screaming. And I appreciate their sudden and stunning change of heart on this issue. But I want to state for the record that the Republican leadership has tried to block this day for months and months and months. And I also want to state for the record that Donald Trump could release these files on his own today.\u201d Reporter: \u201cMr. President, why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?\u201d \u201cYou know, it\u2019s not the question that I mind. It\u2019s your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter.\u201d \u201cHaving now forced the vote, none of us want to go on record and \u2014 and in any way be accused of not being for maximum transparency. So the only intellectually consistent position to have right now, the only way to ensure that both of those things are true at the same time is to allow for everyone to vote their conscience and to go on record to say, of course, of course, we\u2019re for maximum transparency.\u201d<\/p>\n Congress approved a bill demanding the Justice Department to release all of the Epstein files.
