00:00Both the US House and Senate agreed to pass a bill to force the Justice Department to
00:06publicly release the case files of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Donald Trump
00:13had initially been fiercely against making the files public after it was alleged that
00:18the US President may be personally implicated. He has repeatedly pointed the finger at the
00:23Democrats claiming the accusations came in an effort to quote, deflect from the success
00:28of the Republican Party. However, momentum to release the files grew over time, even from
00:34within his own party. Pressure on Trump and Republican lawmakers continue to pile as survivors
00:41of Epstein's abuse rallied outside the Capitol on Tuesday morning. This is who Congress is
00:46fighting for. This is who the House of Representatives are fighting for. Republican House lawmaker
00:52Marjorie Taylor Greene, previously a staunch supporter of Trump, joined the protesters to
00:57display her support. These women have fought the most horrific fight that no woman should
01:03have to fight. And they did it by banding together and never giving up. And that's what we did
01:11by fighting so hard against the most powerful people in the world, even the President of
01:18the United States, in order to make this vote happen today. The U.S. leader eventually bowed
01:24to the growing momentum and said he would sign the bill if it would pass the Senate. The bill
01:29is now set to go to Trump for final approval.
