The US Congress has overwhelmingly voted to release government files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, marking a significant development in a high-profile scandal connecting politics, law enforcement, and elite society. The bill, known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act, compels the Justice Department to make public all unclassified documents within 30 days, shedding light on Epstein’s criminal network and his controversial jailhouse death, officially ruled a suicide.
This development follows President Donald Trump’s surprising reversal from intense opposition to supporting the release. Trump had pressured Congressional allies to block the files, but with mounting defiance within his party, he conceded over the weekend. The legislation passed nearly unanimously, with Democrats and many Republicans backing transparency in a case involving over 1,000 alleged victims.
While Trump asserts the files will reveal connections between Epstein and powerful Democrats, his own past friendship with Epstein places him under scrutiny. The bill excludes identifying information about victims and any sensitive child abuse material but mandates disclosure of details about Epstein’s criminal activities, associates, and any government officials implicated in the records.
The measure now awaits President Trump’s signature, expected imminently, which will trigger the 30-day deadline for public release. Advocates celebrate the move as a victory for victims seeking justice and accountability, though some raise concerns over revealing the names of innocent parties or witnesses.
