Trump signs bill to release Jeffrey Epstein case files after fighting it for months

President Donald Trump signed a bill mandating the release of files on Jeffrey Epstein, following pressure from his party after initial resistance. The legislation, passed overwhelmingly in Congress, requires the Justice Department to disclose all related files within 30 days, with exceptions only for victim protection in ongoing investigations. Despite Trump's past friendship with Epstein, he distanced himself from Epstein's crimes and labeled the issue a distraction from the GOP's achievements. The decision marked a significant shift, influenced by bipartisan efforts and the inevitability of congressional action.
