Trump signs bill to release Epstein files – DOJ now has 30 days to turn docs over to Congress | 19 Nov 2025 | 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.
