President Trump Signs Bill Mandating Release of Jeffrey Epstein Case Files

President Donald Trump has signed legislation compelling the Department of Justice to release all files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days. This decision follows bipartisan pressure and marks a reversal from Trump's previous opposition to the bill.

The legislation mandates the disclosure of all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials concerning Epstein, including those related to his 2019 death in federal custody. While the bill allows for redactions to protect victims' identities and ongoing investigations, it prohibits withholding information due to embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity.

The House of Representatives passed the bill with a 427-1 vote, and the Senate approved it unanimously. Attorney General Pam Bondi has stated that the Department of Justice will comply with the law, ensuring transparency while safeguarding victims.

In a social media post announcing the signing, President Trump stated, "Democrats have used the 'Epstein' issue, which affects them far more than the Republican Party, in order to try and distract from our AMAZING Victories."
