"In less than 48 hours, Donald Trump's justice department must release most of the files related to Jeffrey Epstein in its possession. Last month, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which required the release of those materials by 19 December, except in narrow cases where they would jeopardize current investigations, harm national security or foreign policy goals, or reveal information about Epstein's victims."
"If the files are released, they could contain hundreds of thousands of pages related to investigations into the late sex trafficker, including additional victims' claims and the names of his high-profile associates. The documents might also lift the veil on how Epstein who counted Trump and the former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor among his powerful friends evaded justice for decades. Many of Trump's far-right supporters ascribe to conspiracy theories that Epstein evaded justice because of his connections to influential men"
Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act mandating the Justice Department release most Jeffrey Epstein-related materials by December 19, with narrow exemptions for ongoing investigations, national security, foreign policy, or victim privacy. The Trump administration has remained silent about the release timeline, and Attorney General Pam Bondi did not provide a requested departmental briefing. Two Democratic senators threatened to block some civilian nominees over concerns the department might disregard the law. Remedies for noncompliance are unclear but would likely provoke serious political backlash. Released documents could include hundreds of thousands of pages, victims' claims, names of high-profile associates, and details of how Epstein evaded justice.
