Donald Trump says he has signed legislation that compels his administration to release files on the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“Democrats have used the ‘Epstein’ issue, which affects them far more than the Republican Party, in order to try and distract from our AMAZING Victories,” Trump said in a social media post as he announced he had signed the bill.
His signing means the Justice Department has 30 days to release all files and communications related to Epstein, as well as any information about the investigation into his death in a federal prison in 2019.
The bill allows for redactions about Epstein’s victims for ongoing federal investigations, but the department cannot withhold information due to “embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity.”
At a news conference, Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that the Justice Department will release its Epstein-related material within the time frame.
“We will continue to follow the law and encourage maximum transparency,” Bondi said.
The release of files, however, may not be comprehensive, because the legislation passed by Congress allows the Justice Department to hold back personal information about Epstein’s victims and material that would jeopardise an active investigation.
