President Donald Trump has signed a bill that requires the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to publicly release its files on Jeffrey Epstein. The new law starts a 30-day countdown for federal officials to prepare the documents for disclosure.
Epstein was a convicted sex offender who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on new charges. The release of these records is expected to provide more details about his crimes and his network of associates.
The DOJ must now organize and present the files within the one-month deadline. This action by Congress and the President makes the long-discussed disclosure of the Epstein investigation files an official requirement.
