The US House of Representatives and US Senate have voted in favour of releasing files related to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The release of the files has dogged US President Donald Trump, who had been a friend of Epstein’s before reportedly falling out with him in the early 2000s, years before Epstein’s convictions.
In May, it was reported that US Attorney General Pam Bondi briefed Trump that his name, alongside several other high-profile figures, was included in the files.
Trump’s allies have been keen to stress that being named in the documents does not imply guilt or association with Epstein’s crimes, and that the pair’s relationship was well documented at the time.
So will Trump sign to release the files?
