A sweeping transparency bill has sailed through US Congress, but the coming fight over redactions, investigations and political fallout could shape how much the public ultimately learns.
The vote, which passed with near-unanimous support, came after Donald Trump, once a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein, dropped his opposition and backed the legislation, clearing the way for the measure to proceed to the Senate.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said Jay Clayton, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, will take the lead on the investigation.

Andrew, 65, accused of sexually abusing a teenage girl, said he would give up his title of Duke of York after years of criticism about his connections to the late, disgraced U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Prince Andrew's fall from public grace stems largely from a 2015 civil lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre, who accused the prince of sexually abusing her when she was underage, as reported by CNN.
Lawyers for Maxwell, a British socialite, argued that she never should have been tried or convicted for her role in luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein, a New York financier
FBI Director Kash Patel said Tuesday that there was no "credible information" in law enforcement files that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein trafficked young women to other individuals.
The cache of about 18,000 messages shows Maxwell was deeply involved in Epstein’s business and personal affairs, as well as his legal strategies and efforts to discredit victims.

Trump has spent the past two months denying any connection, calling the revelations “nothing more than a Democrat Epstein hoax.” Yet the strange illustration and captions have again placed their friendship under a microscope.

Maxwell's version of events has raised questions. She hinted the gathering took place in the early 2000s, but Diana died in Paris in 1997, leaving the timeline of Maxwell’s story uncertain.
Trump's remarks were his latest effort to distance himself from the political furor over his administration's handling of files related to Epstein's case
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday (July 28) he "never had the privilege" of visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island, saying he turned down an invitation from the convicted sex offender in what the president called a moment of good judgment. Trump's remarks were his latest effort to distance himself from the political furor over his administration's handling of files related to Epstein's case and renewed questions over his past relationship with the disgraced financier, who died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019. Epstein owned a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands where he entertained prominent people from politics, business and entertainment. Prosecutors have alleged he used the compound to conceal the sex trafficking and abuse of under-age victims. Trump, who socialized with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s, also offered new insight into why their relationship ended. The president said he cut ties after Epstein attempted to recruit staff who worked for Trump. Last week, White House communications director Steven Cheung said Trump had cut ties with Epstein because he regarded him as a "creep."
From terse denials to legal threats, Trump’s changing story fuels questions about what the White House knew and when.
Among the newly surfaced material is a photo from 1993 that, for the first time, confirms Epstein’s attendance at Trump’s wedding to Marla Maples at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
The account, revealed in an article titled “Inside the Long Friendship Between Trump and Epstein”, adds to a growing trove of details about the pair’s close ties in the 1990s and early 2000s.
The Journal published a sensational report last week alleging that a 2003 birthday album made for Epstein by Ghislaine Maxwell featured Trump’s name and a drawing attributed to him.

Trump suggested that there was no “smoking gun” in the Epstein files as he sought to downplay a case that has long animated his MAGA supporters.
Following Epstein’s first arrest in 2006, Trump said the two had a falling out and that they had not spoken for years. After Epstein was arrested again in 2019 and died by suicide while awaiting trial, Trump distanced himself even further.
Epstein, a wealthy financier and convicted sex offender, was facing federal charges of sex-trafficking minors when he died by suicide in jail in 2019
The dispute reportedly centres on a 10-hour surveillance video from outside Epstein’s prison cell, released by the administration to support its conclusion that Epstein died by suicide and was not murdered in his cell in 2019.
