US EditionTrump says he would sign bill releasing Epstein files
The bill mandates release of 50,000 pages of unclassified Epstein-related DOJ files, backed by a bipartisan House majority after Trump reversed his opposition.
- On Nov. 17, President Donald Trump said he would sign a bill requiring the Department of Justice to release Epstein files if the U.S. Congress approves it.
- A discharge petition in July forced the issue after Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act, reaching 218 signatures and prompting U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to expedite the process.
- Oversight releases include more than 20,000 emails and roughly 50,000 pages, which the Epstein Files Transparency Act would require the DOJ to publish, with limited redactions.
- After a likely House passage, the legislation faces Senate and DOJ obstacles as the U.S. House of Representatives votes on Nov. 18 and the bill needs 60 senators to pass the U.S. Senate, while Pam Bondi, Attorney General, could block release.
- President Trump reversed his stance this past weekend, urging House Republicans to support disclosure after months of resistance, while survivors of Jeffrey Epstein plan to speak outside the Capitol on Tuesday and Trump said, `I don't want to take it away from us.
