The US House of Representatives on Tuesday, November 18, almost unanimously voted to pass a law requiring the publication of all unclassified materials, documents, and correspondence in the case of convicted financier and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. This was reported by BBC, writes UNN.

The bill, known as the "Epstein Files Transparency Act," was supported by 427 members of the House of Representatives from both parties. Only one Republican voted against it, which highlights a rare bipartisan consensus on this issue.

For the law to come into force, it must still be approved by the Senate, where 60 out of 100 senators' votes are needed for adoption.
