Washington.- The president of the United States, Donald Trump, will receive on Wednesday the project that obliges the delivery of the files of the case of the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, after the Senate agreed to immediately send the law to the Oval Office.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the approved bill will be formally sent to Trump's desk on Wednesday, according to US media.

There is no clear reason why the project was not sent this very night for ratification in the Executive, although the office of the Lower House has leeway to decide the time of sending, even when the measure was approved in a hurried manner. The House of Representatives approved the bill with 427 votes in favor and only one against, allowing Senate Democrats to request that the law be passed under an expedited process that avoided a new vote, obtaining Republican support. Minutes before the Senate's decision, Trump declared on the Truth Social network that he didn't care when the Upper House was going to approve the law and that what really matters to him is that Republicans don't forget "all the victories" that his Government has achieved. The approval of the law comes a week after House Democrats published a series of 20,000 emails where Epstein made direct mention of Trump, assuring that he knew about his crimes and that he had also spent "hours" with one of the victims.
