Trump Signs Bill to Release Epstein Files

President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, requiring the Justice Department to release unclassified files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days, following bipartisan support in Congress. The bill’s passage, heralded by abuse survivor Maria Farmer, aims to enhance transparency after decades of perceived governmental inaction on Epstein’s crimes. Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019, was the focus of multiple investigations, and the push for this legislation was led by Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. The act seeks to shed light on the extensive ties Epstein had with powerful figures, amidst ongoing public fascination and controversy surrounding his case.
