"They were supposed to be released. President Donald Trump signed a bipartisan law under intense pressure requiring the Justice Department to make them public. The deadline passed. The files did not appear. The DOJ is now breaking a statute its own president approved. And almost no one is talking about it. That silence reflects a presidency built on velocity replacing consequence and spectacle replacing governance."
"The Epstein Files Transparency Act gave the attorney general 30 days to release all unclassified DOJ material related to Jeffrey Epstein. That deadline came and went in December. The department has released only a sliver of documents, offered no firm timeline, and provided no serious public explanation for its failure to comply. Reporters have not pressed the issue with any persistence. The absence of explanation has become part of the story."
"Under normal conditions, this would be consuming Washington. A president signs a law. His own Justice Department ignores it. That is not a messaging problem. It is a constitutional stress test. The Epstein files are not just a legal malfunction. They are a political exposure, best evidenced by a Ford factory worker shouting pedophile protector! at the president which elcited a presidential bird flip in response."
President Donald Trump signed the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, which required the attorney general to release all unclassified DOJ material related to Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days. The statutory deadline passed in December without compliance. The Justice Department has produced only a small fraction of documents, offered no firm timeline, and given no substantive public explanation for noncompliance. Reporters have shown little persistent scrutiny, and public silence has allowed the lack of accountability to persist. The missed deadline undermines claims of exposing elite cover-ups and has been overshadowed by other presidential controversies and foreign policy threats.
