Friends, the Senate just passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act by unanimous consent.
The hundreds of girls and women who were abused and silenced by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell deserve this — transparency, truth, and accountability.
I’m relieved members of both parties came together to pass this legislation swiftly.
After Trump’s longstanding efforts to keep these files under wraps and the DOJ and FBI’s refusal to comply with subpoenas, the President abruptly changed course and encouraged Republicans to vote for the release.
This is an incredibly important reminder that Donald Trump can be pushed to act — that public outcry still matters, and that sustained pressure can force real change.
Today, I’m relieved that Epstein’s survivors and victims will finally get the answers they are owed, and that the American public will see the accountability so many have righteously demanded.
Tomorrow, as we keep working to counter this Administration’s reckless maneuvers — like my ongoing push to block unauthorized war in Venezuela and undo Trump’s cost-raising tariffs — we must continue to turn up the pressure.
Thank you for your dedication to standing up and speaking out with me.
—Tim Kaine
