The bill requires Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all “unclassified” records related to Epstein within 30 days. The law permits Bondi to withhold or redact information that could jeopardize a federal investigation.
Instead of holding a public bill signing ceremony at the White House, as he has with other pieces of legislation, Trump announced on Truth Social that he had signed the measure.

The anger he displayed in the clip could be a sign of someone on the back foot, overreacting to a question Bloomberg correspondent Catherine Lucey was asking about why Trump was fighting against releasing the Epstein files “if there’s nothing incriminating in the files”.
