In a recent social media post, Monica Lewinsky, who was embroiled in a scandal with then-US President Bill Clinton, expressed her frustration over the 30-day timeline set by the Trump administration to release files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The move comes after President Donald Trump signed a bill mandating the Department of Justice to make all Epstein-related files public. The bill was passed following a row sparked by an email that appeared to reference Trump and Clinton, with some speculating that 'Bubba' referred to Clinton's nickname. However, Epstein's brother Mark clarified that the term referred to a private individual. The controversy led Trump to ask the DOJ and FBI to investigate Epstein's ties to Clinton and others, which they agreed to. Lewinsky, who has been vocal about her experiences, shared a screenshot of a Reuters article announcing the 30-day timeline for releasing the Epstein files. She added a text bubble to the image, questioning why the files couldn't be released as quickly as the Starr Report, which became available online within 48 hours after Congress voted to release it. The Starr Report was a federal investigation into Clinton's actions during a sexual harassment lawsuit. The move to release Epstein's files is seen as a step towards transparency, but Lewinsky's comment highlights the perceived delay in releasing the information. As the 30-day deadline approaches, the public will be watching to see when the Epstein files are made public.
