Thank you for joining us on our live blog today.
As the clock ticks past 9pm in Washington, DC, we're wrapping up our coverage of the Epstein files bill's passage through Congress.
If you're looking for more to read, my colleagues Lucia Stein and US correspondent Brad Ryan have put together an explainer on some of the matters we've been discussing here today.
It's naturally the question on many people's lips now.
Congress was remarkably speedy in getting this legislation passed, but there's still one major hurdle to go before the bill becomes law: getting the president to sign off.
Don't expect that to happen in the next few hours.
It's getting late in Washington, DC — it's just past 8.15pm as I write this — and Donald Trump is hosting a state dinner.
Technically, the legislation is still with the House.
While the Senate has agreed to pass the bill, it can only officially do so when it receives the resolution. But that hasn't actually happened yet.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune told CNN the House would walk the bill over to the Senate on Wednesday morning, local time.
Also on the state dinner guest list was Cristiano Ronaldo, who Donald Trump shouted out in his speech.
"Wherever Ronaldo is here," he said.
The president said he introduced his youngest son, Barron, to the football star.
Ronaldo has been the face of the Saudi Pro League since joining the Al-Nassr club in 2022 on a reported $200-million-a-year contract.

Five months after the tech billionaire and world's richest man had a very public and personal falling-out with Donald Trump, it appears Elon Musk has mended fences.
He's among the guests inside the East Room at the White House dinner for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The president gave Musk a small tap on the arm as he walked into the dinner.

Annie Farmer, an alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein, gave a speech at the vigil held earlier by the Democratic Women's Caucus.
She paid tribute to Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of the financier's most prominent accusers, who died by suicide earlier this year.
"We would not be here without her; there is no doubt in my mind about that," Farmer said.
Over at the White House now, President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump have just welcomed back Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for a formal dinner.
Trump tapped the crown prince on his arm a few times in greeting before his wife shook their guest's hand.
A military band was playing as they walked inside to the East Room dinner.
The prince joined the president in the Oval Office earlier, as part of a controversial state visit.
Trump dismissed criticism of Salman when the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi was raised, saying "things happen".
He said the crown prince "knew nothing about it", and of Khashoggi, said "a lot of people didn't like that gentleman".
The president then lashed out at a reporter who asked the question, calling her "fake news" and chastising her, saying: "You don't have to embarrass our guest by asking him a question like that."
As I reported earlier, the Senate passed the Epstein files bill in a very speedy fashion.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer asked the chamber to pass the bill, nobody objected, and the bill was deemed as passed.
Here's how that unfolded.
At the same time Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was raising the Epstein files bill in the upper chamber, a candlelight press conference was being held by the Democratic Women's Caucus.
With them were some of Epstein's alleged victims.
Here is the moment they heard the Senate had passed the bill.
Minutes after the Senate agreed to pass the bill, President Donald Trump told his Truth Social followers he didn't care about the outcome.
He said he doesn't want Republicans to take their eyes off "all the Victories that we've had".
It seems even senators were surprised by how quickly the Epstein files bill shot through their chamber.
Democratic senator Chris Murphy has just offered up his reaction on X.
