Washington, Nov 18 (EFE). - Several members of the U.S. House of Representatives said on Tuesday that they expect an 'overwhelming' support to approve a law that would force the Department of Justice to release the documents of multimillionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. 'This is what we did by fighting so hard against the most powerful people in the world, even against the president of the United States, so that this vote could take place today,' the congresswoman stated. The congresswoman pointed out that the 'real test' will be whether, once the law is passed, the Department of Justice 'will make the records public or everything will remain blocked by the investigations.' Haley Robson, one of the victims, stated that this issue 'is not political' and sent a message to the president. 'I am traumatized, I am not stupid,' Robson stated after saying that the Republicans' attempts to delay the process have subjected the victims to a lot of stress. EFE/EPA/Luke Johnson. President Donald Trump, who had a friendship with Epstein, did a turnaround and announced that he is willing to sign the law if it is first approved by the House of Representatives and then by the Senate. The House will vote on the initiative starting at 2:00 p.m. local time (7:00 p.m. GMT) after 218 lawmakers from both parties signed a petition to force the president of the Chamber, Republican Mike Johnson, to do so. After succeeding, Trump, pointed out by Democrats for his relationship with Epstein after appearing in some already leaked documents, changed his stance and asked Republicans to support the law. Taylor Greene, a staunch Trump ally who in recent days has been involved in a confrontation with the president over the Epstein case, stated that the women accompanying her are not victims, but survivors, and attacked the president for calling her a 'traitor' after joining the petition.

I don't want Washington politicians to play with this. This is the land of freedom,' he said. Representative Thomas Massie (Republican for Kentucky) speaks during a press conference at the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., U.S., November 18, 2025. 'What is being done is wrong. It is not for your own good, but this is the United States. They have to pass it. In the Senate. I don't want Washington politicians to play with this. This is the land of freedom,' he said. 'These women have fought the most horrible battle that any woman should have to fight, and they have done so by uniting and never giving up. I am traumatized, I am not stupid,' Robson stated after saying that the Republicans' attempts to delay the process have subjected the victims to a lot of stress. EFE/EPA/Luke Johnson.
