The decisive, bipartisan effort showed the pressure mounting on lawmakers and the Trump administration to meet long-held demands that the Justice Department release its case files on Epstein, a well-connected financier who killed himself while awaiting trial in 2019 on charges he sexually abused and trafficked underage girls.

The bill forces the release within 30 days of all files and communications related to Epstein, as well as any information about the investigation into his death in federal prison.

It allows redactions about the victims or ongoing investigations but not information due to “embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity.”

    Imagine trying to obscure evidence for years, something that likely proves beyond a reasonable doubt you had your hands elbow deep in illegal/immoral unforgivable reprehensible activity and having the document that could be your undoing sitting on your desk for you to sign.

    I know he’s still trying to obscure his involvement but this shit still has to be eating a hole in his gut.
