Jonathan Kearsley: US correspondent on the US House and Senate approving the release of the Epstein files - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Donald Trump appears to have had his hand forced, over the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The President - who's repeatedly denied links to Epstein - must now sign it into law.

US correspondent Jonathan Kearsley says it's unknown when these files will be released, but that detail is up to the Department of Justice.
