And on Capitol Hill, Congress approved a measure requiring the release of the Epstein files.

Congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardin begins our coverage.

A rare, nearly unanimous House vote to release the Epstein files, significant especially for one group.

This was me at 14 years old. I was a child.

This is me at 16.

This was me at 17 years old.

I was 16 and she was 25.

That's how old we were when we were abused by Epstein and Maxwell.

Survivors of Epstein's abuse came in person to urge passage of the measure.

We are here as American survivors of a man who used his wealth and power to hurt young girls and women.

The world should see the files to know who Jeffrey Epstein was and how the system catered to him and failed us.

The bill forces the Justice Department to release Epstein filed documents within 30 days.

It includes protections for the personal information of survivors and allows the Attorney General to block information that could harm current specific investigations. We have to do it in the right way.

House Speaker Mike Johnson voted yes despite saying he didn't like the measure and

charging that Democrats had political motives.

They're using that as a political weapon to try to distract from their failures as a party

and to try their best to try to tie President Trump somehow into this

wretched scandal. But as he and President Trump realized large numbers of Democrats and Republicans

backed this, Trump dramatically reversed himself on the bill saying yesterday he would sign it.

Sure I would. Let the Senate look at it. Let anybody look at it.

Survivors criticize Mr. Trump directly today for his long opposition to the bill and for calling their case a hoax.

I am traumatized.
