The House likely has the votes to pass the bill calling for a release of the files.

Then it's the Senate's turn to defend either inaction or a "no" vote.

If the bill does pass, it will be Trump's turn to explain why he will not sign the bill.

And all the while the Epstein files are the top story in the run-up to the midterms.
