The United States Congress approved this Wednesday, 19, a bill that obliges the Department of Justice to make public the files of the case of Jeffrey Epstein, convicted of sexual crimes.
After months of opposition, US President Donald Trump indicated that he will sanction the project, which was approved by a large majority in the House and Senate. With the presidential signature, the Department of Justice will have 30 days to release the so-called “Epstein files”.
The Democratic leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, highlighted that the law requires “complete transparency” from the president. Schumer said Democrats are ready to react if they see any attempt to obstruct the promised transparency.

The quick bipartisan action in Congress reflects growing public demand for the files’ release, especially given Epstein’s connections to global leaders including Trump, former President Bill Clinton and Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, who lost his royal title of Prince Andrew over the scandal.
