US EditionTrump Signs Law Requiring DOJ to Release Epstein Files Within 30 Days
The law mandates the Justice Department to release unclassified Epstein investigation files within 30 days, allowing redactions for active probes, after bipartisan congressional support.
- 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.
