After months of fighting the release of additional files from the federal investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, President Trump was expected to sign legislation to release additional documents once it reaches his desk.
The Senate on Wednesday approved a bill that demands the Justice Department release more of the Epstein files, a day after the legislation passed overwhelmingly in the House. But the bill has not yet been presented to the president, and it wasn’t clear when it might reach his desk.
Mr. Trump said this week he would sign the legislation, promising to “give them everything.”
“Let the Senate look at it. Let anybody look at it,” he said in the Oval Office on Monday. That was a turnaround for Mr. Trump, who has maintained his position that the push to release the files is designed to hurt him politically.
