President Donald Trump signed legislation Wednesday night requiring the Justice Department to publicly release its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days. The bill passed Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support, 427-1 in the House and unanimous consent in the Senate, after Trump reversed his longstanding opposition to the measure. Attorney General Pam Bondi must now release all unclassified records related to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, though she can withhold information that could jeopardize ongoing investigations.
