US President Donald Trump has said he signed a bill requiring the Justice Department to release files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The move follows years of public demand for transparency regarding the billionaire’s alleged criminal activities, which included accusations of sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit crimes. Epstein, who died in 2019 while in federal custody, was linked to numerous high-profile individuals, including former President Bill Clinton and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Under the new law, the Justice Department will be required to make all relevant files public within a specified timeframe. Critics argue that the release of these documents could shed light on potential cover-ups or political involvement in Epstein’s crimes. However, supporters of the bill claim it is a necessary step to ensure accountability and transparency in the legal system.
