NEW: President Trump pledges to sign the Epstein Files Transparency Act if passed by Congress. Under the proposed law the United States Department of Justice would be required to release all remaining Epstein-related records, including flight logs, the 2008 non-prosecution agreement, and any connected individuals within 30 days of enactment.
In a surprising shift toward government disclosure, President Donald Trump announced that he would “immediately sign” the proposed Epstein Files Transparency Act should it reach his desk.
The bill, introduced by a bipartisan group of lawmakers earlier this week, seeks to mandate the full release of all remaining federal records connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Under the proposal, the Department of Justice would be required to publish the documents within 30 days of enactment, including previously sealed materials such as Epstein’s flight logs, the 2008 federal non-prosecution agreement, and files referencing any individuals connected to the case.
Supporters of the bill argue that transparency is long overdue and essential for restoring public trust, while critics warn that the rapid release of sensitive records could compromise ongoing investigations or violate privacy protections.
The White House, in a brief statement, said the President views the legislation as “a necessary step toward openness and accountability.”
Congressional leaders have not yet announced when the bill will move to committee review or a floor vote, but interest on both sides of the aisle continues to grow.
If passed, the act would mark one of the most sweeping federal transparency mandates in recent memory—setting the stage for the public release of documents long speculated about but never fully revealed.
