US Justice Department will release Epstein files within 30 days, Bondi says
The bipartisan bill mandates public release of unclassified Epstein investigation files within 30 days, including bank records and witness interviews, aiming for transparency, House says.
- On Wednesday, Attorney-General Pam Bondi said the Justice Department will release files from its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days after the House of Representatives approved a bipartisan bill forcing the disclosure.
- Public disclosures about Epstein's social circle prompted the House Oversight Committee to publish thousands of documents last week, increasing pressure for transparency on Jeffrey Epstein, late financier and convicted sex offender.
- The materials to be released include bank records and electronic device files, while a July DOJ/FBI memo warned they contain images of victims who are minors and over ten thousand illegal abuse videos, though agencies found no incriminating 'client list'.
- If the U.S. Senate approves the bill and President Donald Trump signs it, the materials would be released, while Speaker Mike Johnson expects amendments to protect survivors' privacy and Pam Bondi said the department will safeguard victims' identities.
- A new investigation could complicate efforts to release Epstein files, said Rep. Thomas Massie, who warned it might be used to block disclosures and noted concerns about selective withholding, Richman added.
