WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump signed the bill to release files related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Wednesday night.
The president announced that he signed the bill in a lengthy Truth Social post on Wednesday night. In the post, he said 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.” He also took credit for the bill to release the files, which passed Congress overwhelmingly.
This comes after the bill swiftly passed Congress on Tuesday evening. The House voted 427-1 to pass the bill. Only one lawmaker, Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., voted against releasing the files.
It is unclear when the files will be released. The bill directs the attorney general to make all unclassified documents related to Epstein publicly available within 30 days of it being signed into law.
