The House of Representatives approved legislation compelling disclosure of all unclassified Jeffrey Epstein records held by federal authorities, with 427 members supporting the measure and a single Louisiana Republican opposing it. Recent document releases from the deceased financier's estate included communications suggesting connections between Epstein and prominent figures, intensifying demands for transparency around his criminal network and the circumstances surrounding his federal custody death.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act requires Attorney General Pam Bondi to release materials from the FBI and prosecutor offices within 30 days of enactment, covering flight records, associate Ghislaine Maxwell, connected individuals, and internal deliberations. Polling indicates over three-quarters of Americans favor publication with victim identities protected.
The legislation bars withholding information due to embarrassment, reputation concerns, or political considerations related to individuals named in investigative files.
