Resolution Criteria

The House and Senate have passed a measure compelling the Department of Justice to release files regarding Jeffrey Epstein, with the House passing 427-1 and the Senate approving by unanimous consent. The measure will head to President Trump's desk, and he has said he would sign it.

Each answer resolves YES if the specified event occurs, NO if it does not occur, or N/A at my discretion.

Background

Thousands of documents were released by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week, including emails between Jeffrey Epstein and former Harvard President Larry Summers. Trump previously fought the proposal but said House Republicans should vote to release the files, a startling reversal. Trump threw his support behind the effort after it became clear he could not halt its momentum and risked suffering an embarrassing blow on the House floor.

Considerations

Ongoing investigations may prevent full disclosure of information victims have long sought. Even if the measure becomes law, Trump could still find ways to neuter its impact, as implementation would rely on Justice Department compliance, a department Trump has asserted significant control over.
