President Trump signed a bill requiring the Justice Department to release all files related to Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days. This action came after mounting pressure from Democrats and his own conservative base, marking a reversal of his previous stance.
Trump, who had the authority to release the documents himself but did not, now claims the release will expose Democratic ties to Epstein. The legislation allows for the redaction of victim information but prohibits withholding documents due to embarrassment or political sensitivity.
The bill's passage through Congress was expedited after Trump signaled his approval.
