President Trump announced Wednesday that he has signed congressional legislation forcing the federal government to release documents related to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
“I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!” Trump wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post.
“As everyone knows, I asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to pass this Bill in the House and Senate, respectively,” the president added. “Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage.”
The measure Trump signed into law requires the Department of Justice to turn over all “unclassified records, documents, communications and investigative materials” — and all classified information to the maximum extent possible — to Congress within 30 days.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was introduced by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), would also order Attorney General Pam Bondi to deliver a list of government officials and other “politically exposed persons” linked to Epstein within 15 days of receiving the president’s signature.
The bill sailed through the House of Representatives in a 427-1 vote Tuesday, and was sent to Trump’s desk by the Senate with unanimous consent.
The Trump administration had been at odds with lawmakers for much of the year on releasing the so-called Epstein files – with the president slamming the subject as a Democrat-led “hoax.”
Only four Republicans — Massie and Reps. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) — joined all 214 House Democrats to get the necessary 218 signatures needed to force a vote on the resolution.
After Trump signaled he would sign the bill into law if it passed, it received a surge in GOP support.
In his post, the president noted Epstein “was charged by the Trump Justice Department in 2019 (Not the Democrats!)” for child sex trafficking and that the disgraced financier “was a lifelong Democrat,” who “donated Thousands of Dollars to Democrat Politicians, and was deeply associated with many well-known Democrat figures, such as Bill Clinton (who traveled on his plane 26 times), Larry Summers (who just resigned from many Boards, including Harvard), Sleazebag Political Activist Reid Hoffman, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (who asked Epstein to donate to his Campaign AFTER Epstein was charged), Democrat Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett, and many more.”
“Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed,” the president added.
Trump further noted that the DOJ “has already turned over close to fifty thousand pages of documents to Congress” at his direction and that the Biden administration “did not turn over a SINGLE file or page related to Democrat Epstein, nor did they ever even speak about him.”

BREAKING: “I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!” – President Trump Signs Epstein Files Transparency Act, Says The Truth About Epstein’s Democrat Affiliates “Will Soon be Revealed”
President Trump has signed the Epstein Files Transparency act into law to release all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the House overwhelmingly voted for the bill, with only one Republican defector, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), voting against the bill, citing privacy concerns for victims of Epstein.
The Senate later approved the bill by unanimous consent.
The President called on Congress to pass the bill on Tuesday, stating, “We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat ‘Shutdown.’”
President Trump released a statement on Wednesday, slamming the Democrats and highlighting Jeffrey Epstein’s support for Democrats and his affiliation with prominent Democrats like Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, and Larry Summers.
Fox reports, “Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters Wednesday that she would comply with the law after it was signed, which directs the Justice Department to release the files online in a searchable format within 30 days.”
“Do not forget — The Biden Administration did not turn over a SINGLE file or page related to Democrat Epstein, nor did they ever even speak about him,” Trump said.
“For years our Great Nation has had to endure RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, IMPEACHMENT HOAX #1, IMPEACHMENT HOAX #2, and many other Democrat created Witch Hunts and Scams, all of which have been so terrible and divisive for our Country, and have been done to confuse, deflect, and distract from the GREAT JOB that Republicans, and the Trump Administration, are doing,” the President continued. “This latest Hoax will backfire on the Democrats just as all of the rest have! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!“

Trump signs bill to release ALL Epstein files while claiming ‘hoax’ will backfire on the Democrats
President Donald Trump signed a bill to release the Jeffrey Epstein files one day after the House voted overwhelmingly to pass the measure and the Senate followed suit in a sweeping sign of bipartisan unity.
Trump signed the bill after a group of rogue Republicans sparked a furious political battle that fractured his own party. The House ultimately approved the measure by a staggering vote of 427-1 on Tuesday.
The president on Wednesday delivered a scathing warning to Democrats that the ‘hoax’ would backfire while claiming that – despite stalling – he wanted to release the files all along.
‘Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed,’ he wrote.
‘Because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.’
The post on Truth Social was an epic 390-word rant implicating enemies as former Epstein associates while lauding his own accomplishments and promising the release of the infamous files would backfire.
Trump noted the billionaire financier was charged by his Justice Department back in 2019, and that Epstein was ‘a lifelong Democrat‘ who donated thousands to the party and associated with high profile politicians from the left.
The president’s signing sets a 30-day countdown for the Justice Department to produce the files.
