"On Tuesday, the House and Senate passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and the president has signed it into law. Which means the Justice Department now has less than 30 days to release all of their files on Epstein. More on that asterisk in a second. Trump has now signed the Epstein files bill into law. Of course, you didn't miss that news. And at first glance, it's a win."
"All of those outcomes are still possible. But don't lose sight of the fact that all of this has come at a cost to the American justice system. As with so many things, the president has put his own interests over the nation's at every step of the way. So now the question is: When those files are released, will Americans be able to fully trust them?"
Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act and the president signed it into law, requiring the Justice Department to release Epstein-related files within roughly 30 days. The law promises a public accounting that could identify participants in crimes, hold powerful people accountable for ties to a sexual predator, and provide answers to victims after a decades-long investigation. Concerns persist about the integrity of the records, given presidential self-interest and potential influence over the justice system. Released documents may face redactions or omissions, and skepticism remains about whether the files will be complete or fully trustworthy.
