Live updates: Trump orders the publication of “relevant” Epstein files and congress on the cuts of the doke editions


The House of Representatives adopted the Doge outputs overnight. In the meantime, President Donald Trump said that he had ordered General Prosecutor Pam Bondi to release “all relevant” Grand jury certificates in the case of the accused sex dealer Jeffrey Epstein.

Get up to date here:

Doge cuts package: Overnight House Republicans gave the final stamp of consent to a package of 9 billion US dollars of spending rods for foreign help and public broadcasting, which Trump won.

The congress adopted the package-das part of the cost of the Efficiency of the Trump government, according to an obscure law house of the President, which was used to circumvent the Senate filibuster. The measure will now go to the president to be signed in the law.

Trump is the first president in about 30 years to successfully use the maneuver.

Holdup over Epstein: Before the final passage, however, the package met with problems in the closely divided house, since some of the same members called for a separate and unrounded promise from the GOP leadership, demanded more transparency for the Epstein files.

Ultimately, the committee voted on Thursday evening for the promotion of the Doge Cuts package and for a non-binding solution that requires the publication of additional Epstein files after intensive discussions of a number of republicans who were asked for more transparency in connection with the case. However, there is nothing that would force this to the ground.

Wall Street Journal Report: According to a report by Wall Street Journal, a collection of letters that gave Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003 contained a note name with Trump's name and a outline of a naked woman. The drawing that the breasts of a woman and a “Donald” signature on the site of the pubic hair surrounded several lines of machine -written text, according to the newspaper, which checked the letter. It ended with the line: “Happy birthday – and can be another wonderful secret every day.”

In an interview with the journal on Tuesday, Trump denied that he wrote the letter or drawn the picture and threatened to sue the newspaper when it published the story.

Epstein files: Trump then announced last night in Truth that he asked General Prosecutor Pam Bondi to “produce all relevant statements by the Grand Jury” that refer to Epstein, and seemed to bend the pressure to release more material about the case.

Bondi quickly released Trump's comments on X and wrote: “President Trump – we are ready to move the court tomorrow to seal the Grand jury's transcripts.” Your department could ask the judges to make such a material public, but the procedure could be lengthy if the courts weighed privacy and other concerns.
