US EditionHarris defends Biden administration decision not to release Jeffrey Epstein files
Harris said Biden’s team upheld independence by not influencing the Justice Department on Epstein files amid a congressional law mandating release within 30 days.
- In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Harris said she and the administration 'strongly and rightly believed' in separating what they wanted from DOJ actions, emphasizing independence.
- The Epstein Files Transparency Act mandates the attorney general release unclassified Epstein records within 30 days, with a Friday deadline for DOJ disclosure after U.S. Congress passed and President Donald Trump signed it.
- The investigations spanned several periods, with the Department of Justice and FBI probing Jeffrey Epstein in the mid-2000s and around 2019, gathering extensive but sometimes uncorroborated evidence including 68 additional photos of high-profile figures.
- Senate Democrats warned earlier this week of legal action if the Department of Justice fails to comply, while advocates and Harris expressed doubts over full document release amid President Donald Trump's reversal last month.
- The biggest question remains what investigators concluded about Epstein's trafficking claims, while officials warn released files will likely fuel public and partisan conspiracy theories.
