Legislation next goes to Trump who indicated he would sign bill after he and his allies backed down from opposition
The Senate on Tuesday gave swift approval to legislation that will force the release of investigative files related to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, following a near-unanimous vote in the US House of Representatives and a reversal by Donald Trump and his Republican allies who relented after months of trying to forestall the bipartisan effort involving a scandal that has dogged the president since his return to the White House.
The Senate acted by unanimous consent, which requires approval from each senator but does not require a formal roll call vote, expediting the process. Hours earlier, the House overwhelmingly approved the bill on a 427-1 tally. Once the legislation is forwarded to the Senate, it will be automatically approved.

Specific reasons being a blanket to redact whatever they want.
Don’t hold your breath, it won’t come out intact.
Can you maybe try holding people accountable instead of giving up
Can I? I have no ability to hold them accountable. I would want to, but that’s not something that the government plans to do from now on.
How many days until this is NOT released in full do you need to finally side with me. 30? 60? 90?
