The House of Representatives have officially voted in the Epstein Files Transparency Act today (November 18).
The vote has nearly unanimously passed the act with over 200 Republicans and over 200 Democrats voting to push the bill to the next step. Some members of the House also did not vote. This did not impact the final total, as it is still enough to pass through.
There’s only 1 “no” vote, and that person has been identified.

Representative Clay Higgins, a Republican from Louisiana, was the sole “no” vote, the New York Times reports.
This does not mean that the Epstein Files will be released to the public at this time. This now means that, with this passing vote, it will now head to the Senate. Senate Republicans and Democrats need to then pass it through further.
The Epstein files have been a big story for years, though it has ramped up in the past few weeks.
Last week, Donald Trump lashed out after thousands of emails were published calling into question how well he actually knew the late sex offender, who claimed Trump knew “about the girls.”
We’ll keep posting updates as this vote heads to the Senate.
