November 18th: It is scheduled for the U.S. House of Representatives to vote as early as next Tuesday on whether to make public the investigation files of the late financier Epstein's sexual abuse case. U.S. President Trump, who has been opposed to the release of the relevant files, changed his stance on local Sunday. In a post, he stated that House Republicans should vote on whether to release the Epstein case files and emphasized that there is nothing to conceal. Trump further accused the Democrats of deliberately inflaming the discussion of the Epstein case in an attempt to divert public attention. The Republicans hold 219 seats in the House of Representatives, which is more than half. Some Democratic lawmakers have indicated that at least 40 Republicans are expected to vote in favor of releasing the files. However, the bill still needs to be voted on in the Senate, so there is still uncertainty about whether the Epstein case files will ultimately be fully disclosed. (Golden Financ
