In a significant move, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he has signed a bill mandating the release of all documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The legislation, which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, requires the Justice Department to make the information from its Epstein investigation available in a searchable and downloadable format within 30 days. This decision marks a reversal from Trump’s previous stance, as he had initially opposed the release of these files. However, mounting pressure from Epstein’s victims and members of his own Republican party prompted the president to change course last week. In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Democrats of using the issue to divert attention from his administration’s accomplishments, suggesting that the released files might expose Democratic associations with Epstein. Despite the bill’s passage, concerns remain about the potential withholding of certain documents, particularly those that could infringe on personal privacy or pertain to ongoing investigations. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, one of the bill’s architects, expressed apprehension that the administration might use active investigations as a pretext to withhold some files. The release of these documents could shed further light on Epstein’s extensive network and his connections to high-profile figures, including Trump, who has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
