Until a few days ago, President Trump had worked to prevent a vote, repeatedly downplaying the importance of the files as a Democratic hoax.  The legislation now moves to the US Senate. <\/p>\n<p>But even with bipartisan support in the House for the files to be released, it may still take time before they see the light of day. The Senate vote remains a hurdle &#8212; despite Donald Trump&#8217;s U-turn on the issue. Here&#8217;s a closer look at what&#8217;s in the so-called Epstein files, and why they are so controversial. <\/p>\n<p>DW talks to Barbara Perry, Professor of Governance at the Miller Center at University of Virginia in the US. <\/p>\n<p>For more news go to: http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>Follow DW on social media:<br \/>\n\u25baInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deutschewellenews\/<br \/>\n\u25baTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwnews<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/dwdeutsch<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1<br \/>\n#JeffreyEpstein #EpsteinFiles #USA #DonaldTrump #Trump<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawmakers in the US House of Representatives have voted overwhelmingly to force the Justice Department to release all files related to its investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
