More: Minority Leader Chuck Schumer came to the floor at 5:18 p.m., just hours after the House resoundingly passed the bill, and asked for it to be deemed passed by the Senate as soon as it was processed by the House.

No one objected.

The unanimous action by the Senate means there will be no amendments or changes to the bill as House Speaker Mike Johnson and other members of his Republican leadership team had been urging.

Following the decision, Johnson told reporters on Tuesday night he is "deeply disappointed" the Senate approved the Epstein files release bill without making any changes.

Trump said on Monday that he will sign the bill should it reach his desk.

"I'm all for it," Trump said.

But in a post on his social media platform Tuesday afternoon, the president said he doesn't "care when the Senate passes the House Bill, whether tonight, or at some other time in the near future," and that he wants Republicans to stay focused on his agenda.

"I just don't want Republicans to take their eyes off all of the Victories that we've had, including THE GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL, Closed Borders, No Men in Women's Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden's Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Tax and Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT Wars, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World, having Trillions of Dollars INVESTED in the U.S.A., having created the "HOTTEST" Country anywhere in the World, and even delivering a HUGE DEFEAT to the Democrats on the Shutdown," Trump said in his post.
