Justice Department to Release Epstein Investigation Files Within 30 Days

Summary

Attorney General Pam Bondi announces the DOJ will release Jeffrey Epstein investigation files within 30 days, following near-unanimous Congressional legislation.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) will release files from its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Wednesday. This decision follows near-unanimous votes in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, compelling the Trump administration to make these documents public.

At a news conference, Bondi stated, "We will continue to follow the law and encourage maximum transparency." However, she noted that certain materials might be withheld to protect ongoing investigations into Democratic figures associated with Epstein and to safeguard the identities of sex-trafficking victims.

Epstein, who died by suicide in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, had connections with several prominent individuals, including former President Donald Trump. The forthcoming release is expected to shed further light on Epstein's activities and associations.
