The US Congress voted on whether or not the trove of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein should be published. While the measure passed almost unanimously, one Republican congressman dissented, prompting speculation about whether he was named in the files.
In a vote of 427-1, both the House and the Senate approved the measure that would compel the Justice Department and other related federal agencies to publicise the Epstein files. The measure passed both chambers on Tuesday, passing the House first and the Senate three hours later. In the Senate, the chamber approved the measure without the need for a formal vote.
