From the BBC:
Timeline: How did we get here?
The question of releasing the
Epstein files has loomed over Trump’s presidency. Let’s take a look at the key
moments that bring us to this point.
February The Department of
Justice and FBI released 341 pages of declassified files in what was called the
"first phase" of publishing all the files - but most of the material
was already public
July The Department of
Justice and FBI said no more material would be released
September The House
Oversight Committee release over 33,000 pages of Epstein-related records
12 November
Democrats release three newly
acquired emails from the Epstein estate, some mentioning Donald Trump.
Republicans accuse them of
cherry-picking documents to make Trump look bad and release the full 23,000
pages
A petition on releasing the files
gets enough signatures to force a vote, as Representative Adelita Grijalva
signs it upon being sworn in
16 November Trump calls
for Republicans to vote to release the files, after weeks of saying it was a
Democratic-driven distraction
18 November The House of
Representatives votes and passes the Epstein Files Transparency Act 427-1
