Congress passes bill to release ‘Epstein files’, sending measure to Trump
A bill allowing the release of government documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein has been approved by the US Congress.
The Senate quickly approved the measure by unanimous consent even before it was formally transmitted to the chamber on Tuesday in a 427-to-1 vote.

President Donald Trump will sign the bill into law once it is officially approved, according to the president’s statement.
Given his connections to powerful figures in the media, politics, and academia, including ties to Trump, the case of Epstein, a financier who sexually abused girls and young women for years, has sparked controversies in the US for years.
Trump initially opposed the release of the files, calling the late sex offender a “hoax,” before reversed course  this month.
The files should be released immediately so the president and his Department of Justice can access them without waiting for Congress to pass it. They are permitted to make them public.
Democrats Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, the bill’s sponsor, and Republicans Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene, who have been supporting the bill, gathered outside the US Capitol to speak with Epstein’s survivors.
To achieve this victory, we battled the president, the attorney general, the FBI director, the House speaker, and the vice president. Let’s give them some credit as well because they’re on our side right now, Massie told reporters.
One of the survivors, Jena-Lisa Jones, took a photo of herself at the time she met Epstein, who was 14 years old.
When I was a child, I. I was in the ninth grade. I was optimistic about life and what it would bring me. She claimed that he had taken a lot of my stuff.
In 2008, Epstein first admitted guilt to the charges of soliciting prostitution with a minor. He was permitted to work for 12 hours a day after serving 13 months in a minimum-security facility. Critics claimed that the punishment was too severe for the offence.
Federal authorities reopened the case against Epstein after the Miami Herald’s investigation into the case, detained him, and charged him with sex trafficking minors in 2019.
He was discovered dead in his New York City jail cell two months later. His death was declared a suicide.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Prince Andrew , Prince Andrew, and former US President Bill Clinton were among Epstein’s collaborators over the years.
Epstein continued to have close personal connections with powerful people even after his first conviction, including Larry Summers, a former head of Harvard University, who recently expressed regret for keeping ties to the sex offender.
Trump criticized an ABC News reporter on Tuesday, pointing out that Epstein was a significant donor to Democratic politicians and asked him why he wouldn’t release the files on his own.
“You just keep working on the Epstein files,” the statement read. The US president claimed that what the Epstein is is a Democrat hoax.
When asked why Trump refused to release the documents earlier in the day, Massie asserted that Epstein’s connections were above partisan politics.
‘Scotland cash in almost 30 years of glorious failure as dreams come true’

The last kick of a win that takes Scotland to their first men’s World Cup in almost three decades is a Kenny McLean goal from the halfway line.
This is not a dream.
The 33-year-old Norwich midfielder is wheeling his way to the corner flag with almost every member of the squad hunting him down.
Ben Gannon-Doak, who was taken off on a stretcher in the first half of this utterly incredible 4-2 victory over Denmark, is like a Jack Russell welcoming its owner home from a week abroad.
Fireworks are igniting out of the Hampden roof as Scott McTominay lies in a heap.
About two hours earlier, his outrageous overhead kick had grown adults crying, hugging and bouncing about like toddlers. And that was only in the media seats.
Goalkeeper Craig Gordon, 43 next month, has his hands in his gloves in disbelief as the Hampden DJ hits play on Freed From Desire.
This is not a dream.
Bodies are still flying about Hampden like empty tracksuits. Steve Clarke is one of them.
A generation of Scotland fans have just witnessed the greatest game of their lives. The old guard might say the same after that.

‘Robertson & McGinn lead emotional Hokey Cokey’
There’s been a sense this night of all nights was written in the stars, given the way Scotland’s bizarre qualifying campaign played out.
Lady Luck has been mentioned, but there was nothing fortunate about McTominay leaping the height of the Finnieston Crane to score an outrageous bicycle kick.
There was no luck in Scotland responding not once, but twice when it looked like the national team were going to find a new way to break five million hearts against the 10 men of Denmark.
One fan said pre-match it felt like Scotland had cashed in almost 30 years’ worth of glorious failure. Another supporter said Clarke and his players must have sold their souls for this opportunity.
If that’s what it takes to witness an occasion like this, the Tartan Army might be happy to wait another three decades for the next one.
The thought of Andy Robertson and John McGinn dragging their bags of Scotland misfortune up to the football gods in exchange for a World Cup appearance is quite the image. After all, there is every chance this is their last go at this.
Two absolute titans of this Scotland side, Robertson and McGinn, both 31, were the life and soul of the post-match celebrations.
The emotion bursting out of the two of them hit like Kieran Tierney’s stunner. Boy do they deserve this.

‘Scotland players get to live dream with nation’
Pre-match, nobody in the ground could have said they weren’t ready to run on that pitch and do the job themselves when one of Hampden’s great renditions of Flower of Scotland followed a pyro show.
Three minutes after the first whistle, McTominay was sprinting to the home dugout after the goal of his career.
There the Napoli midfielder stood, all alone, blowing a kiss up to his loved ones. The kids apparently call it ‘aura’.
“You’ve just witnessed the goal of the season,” screamed the PA announcer. A generation of Scotland fans had just witnessed the goal of their life.
Well, they thought they had. Tierney’s curler and McLean’s astonishing moment will also qualify.
When the party moved to elsewhere and the Hampden stands were eventually empty, there was veteran keeper Gordon, drafted back in for this camp, standing on the pitch getting pictured with his family.
A good chunk of this squad weren’t born the last time Scotland played on the grandest stage. The rest were probably still in nappies.
