US EditionTrump Signs Law Requiring DOJ to Release Epstein Files Within 30 Days
The act mandates DOJ to release all unclassified Epstein-related documents within 30 days, allowing limited redactions for victim privacy and ongoing investigations.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed a bill directing the U.S. Department of Justice to release unclassified Jeffrey Epstein files within 30 days.
- Under intense pressure from victims and allies last week, a discharge petition with 218 signatures led to a House vote of 427-1, passing the bill, which was later approved unanimously by the Senate.
- The law allows narrow redactions for sex-trafficking victims, classified material, and active federal investigations; Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed she started an investigation and said the department will protect victims' identities, while a Justice Department spokesman declined to comment on withholding.
- Released documents could prompt new investigations by federal investigators and prosecutors and institutional reviews at Harvard University, amid rare Republican disunity involving Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie.
- Trump framed the move on Truth Social, writing `As everyone knows, I asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to pass this Bill in the House and Senate, respectively`, while observers caution Justice Department withholding provisions may limit completeness.
