President Donald Trump signed legislation Wednesday night directing the Justice Department to release all files from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, completing a dramatic reversal after fighting the proposal just last week.
Trump announced on Truth Social that he signed the Jeffrey Epstein Transparency Act, which cleared both chambers of Congress on Tuesday with only one Republican lawmaker voting against it.
"Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES," the president said in the announcement on his social media platform. Trump has pointed to Epstein’s ties to prominent Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, proclaiming: "This latest Hoax will backfire on the Democrats just as all of the rest have!"
With the legislation signed, the Justice Department has 30 days to publicize "all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials" from the investigation into the disgraced financier and indicted sex trafficker who died by suicide in 2019.
“We'll continue to follow the law with maximum transparency while protecting victims,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said earlier in the day.
