President Trump announced that he signed the “Epstein Files Transparency Act,” requiring documents pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein to be released.
The bill directs the Attorney General to “make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and United States Attorneys’ Offices.”
“No record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary,” the bill explains, although any redactions “must be accompanied by a written justification published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress.”
Trump shared that he signed the bill in a statement on Truth Social, declaring, “I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!”
“As everyone knows, I asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to pass this Bill in the House and Senate, respectively,” he wrote. “Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage. At my direction, the Department of Justice has already turned over close to fifty thousand pages of documents to Congress.”
“This latest Hoax will backfire on the Democrats just as all of the rest have! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” President Trump added.
Earlier this week, the House of Representatives voted to release the Epstein files in a 427-1 vote. The Senate then unanimously passed the bill.
