A CNN reporter was floored Tuesday as news dropped the Epstein bill was to speed through the Senate just hours after a nearly unanimous vote from the House.
The Senate was to approve the bill, H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, as soon as the bill was received from the House, CNN anchor and chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju told anchor Jake Tapper.
"Yeah, just a couple of weeks ago, it seemed like this bill was dead on arrival. Just a few days ago, it seemed like it was dead on arrival in the United States Senate. But now it is on its way to the president's desk in a remarkable turnaround in an extremely fast move here, the Senate has essentially greenlighted this bill to be approved as soon as tonight and be sent to the president's desk," Raju said.
Only one member of the entire U.S. Senate voted against the bill — Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA). The bill now heads to President Donald Trump's desk to be signed.
