Trump says he would sign bill releasing Epstein files

Trump reversed opposition to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, promising to sign it, though redactions and delays by the Justice Department may limit full disclosure.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump said he would sign the Epstein Files Transparency Act if it clears both chambers, calling the issue a distraction from his accomplishments.
  • A discharge petition reached 180 signatures after House Speaker Mike Johnson delayed action for over six weeks, forcing a House vote last week.
  • The bill would require release of files while containing a carveout allowing President Trump or Attorney General Pam Bondi to withhold some Jeffrey Epstein documents.
  • After an eleventh-hour reversal over the weekend, President Donald Trump urged House Republicans to support releasing Epstein files and ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Democrats, with Bondi assigning Jay Clayton to lead.
  • Rep. Thomas Massie, Republican from Kentucky, warned ongoing investigations could prevent disclosure, while legal experts said publication may not lead to prosecutions, leaving the Senate's stance uncertain.
