Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingly.
Congress has approved a bill to compel the Justice Department to release all of its files on the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
As NPR's Claudie Grisallis reports,
the measure cleared the Senate on a voice vote following a nearly unanimous vote in the House.
In an extremely rare scene in Republican-controlled Washington,
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer moved to approve the bipartisan bill under a voice vote with no objections.
The Senate has now passed the Epstein bill as soon as it comes over from the House.
House Republican leaders said they voted to approve the plan with the expectation the Senate would amend it to address their concerns.
However, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said after the overwhelming House vote of 427-1,
that was no longer necessary.
And this way, the senators did not have to have their votes recorded.
