Transparency & AccountabilityOne House vote would adopt a call to make the Epstein investigation records public — nothing changes in daily life.
Transparency & Accountability
H. Res. 598 does one thing: it adopts H. Res. 589, the measure that calls for these records to be made public. A House resolution is not a law, so on its own it cannot force an agency to hand over files.
More about this bill
Most people would notice no change in daily life. The change here is about information, not money or paperwork. This resolution would adopt House Resolution 589 in one vote, without a separate floor vote on it. House Resolution 589 calls for records from the federal Jeffrey Epstein investigation to be made public. The Rules Committee sent this to the floor on July 21, 2025. A House resolution is not a law. It does not go to the Senate or the President. It puts the House on record, but by itself it cannot make a federal agency hand over files.
