The President of the United States, Donald Trump, will receive on Wednesday the bill that requires the delivery of the files from the case of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, after the Senate agreed to immediately send the law to the Oval Office.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune assured that the approved law will be formally sent to Trump’s desk on Wednesday, according to US media.
There is no clear reason why the bill was not sent tonight for ratification in the Executive, although the Lower House office has room to decide when to send it, even when the measure was approved in a hurry.

The House of Representatives approved the project with 427 votes in favor and only one against, allowing Senate Democrats to request passing the law under an abbreviated process that avoided a new vote, obtaining Republican support.
Minutes before the Senate’s decision, Trump declared on the Truth Social network that he did not care when the Upper House was going to approve the law and that what really matters to him is that the Republicans do not forget “all the victories” that his Government has achieved.
The approval of the law comes a week after House Democrats published a series of 20,000 emails in which Epstein made direct mention of Trump, ensuring that he was aware of his crimes and that he had also spent “hours” with one of the victims.
