In a unanimous decision, the US Congress has passed a bill requiring the release of all unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The bill, which now awaits President Donald Trump's signature, orders Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the documents within 30 days. The move comes after years of public scrutiny surrounding Epstein's dealings and connections. In recent months, various documents have been made public, including flight logs, a redacted version of Epstein's contacts book, and over 20,000 pages of his emails and messages. These releases have shed light on Epstein's relationships with high-profile figures and his interactions with Trump. The new bill requires the release of internal justice department communications, investigative materials, and other documents related to Epstein and Maxwell. However, Attorney General Bondi has the power to withhold information that could compromise active federal investigations or identify victims. The release of these documents has significant implications, particularly given Epstein's history of abuse and the numerous high-profile figures involved. As the bill awaits Trump's signature, the public is eagerly awaiting the full release of the Epstein files and the potential revelations they may bring.
