Trump signs Epstein bill into law, releasing files from DOJ

The Hill ^ | 11/19/25 8:23 PM ET | Julia Manchester

[AFB-XYZ]

all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials

Peeps aren't goonna be happy if DOJ says it's all "classified". . . . .

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It doesn’t matter how much gets released.

If it doesn’t incriminate Trump they will say he hasn’t released it all.

This will never end.

It’s unclear how much information will be gleaned from the released files. The legislation includes exceptions, including the possibility where the Justice Department could withhold or redact the identities and personal information of Epstein’s victims. The legislation also states that the Justice Department can move to withhold or redact information that “would jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution, provided that such withholding is narrowly tailored and temporary.

Praying the victims find their peace come what may.

At the end of the day the President is a human being, he will be called to account by God for everything he did both personally and as a leader. And same goes for everyone in the files, and everyone handling them.

Hopefully the president will accomplish more good can be accomplished in the remainder of his term and that 2026, 2028 won’t be a disasters for conservatives.

Whatever else is between him and God and his conscience.

Exactly..the commies dont want the Epstein files, they ONLY care if they can find Trumps name just ONCE in it, otherwise they dont care..they will do a search in the files to try to find the name “TRUMP” if it doesnt appear, they will say screw it and move on to the next thing

[Gary from Dayton]

The TDS sufferers are on social media right now accusing Patel of having Trump’s name removed from the files. They are using an anonymous sourced article from Bloomberg as proof.
Even if the files are released they have cover to continue to accuse Trump of sex crimes.

All “unclassified” will be released

You can stop reading there.

Even the classified need to be reviewed, redacted where actual classified information is, and released.

The classification system is ABUSED to hide activities which would get people or institutions in trouble. The system is used to hide behaviors or decisions, which if brought to light would be seen as questionable, cause the courts to get involved, etc.

Everything is classified today. The ENTIRE FBI runs behind a wall of secrecy. Even the most mundane crap is on secret systems and the secret stamp is applied extremely liberally by the original classification source.

The idea that only specific technical know how, future operations, sources, or personnel who’s safety would be at risk if names and images are made public is foreign to most the IC. “Secret” gets stamped on pretty much everything.

[No name given]

Yes, here’s hoping.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

I m so tired of this!

[Yashcheritsiy]

I have suspected for a while that Trump was pretending to be cagey about releasing “the Epstein Files” because he was trying to give the Democrats enough rope to hang themselves with.

[digger48]

They’re already saying that

[CondoleezzaProtege]

Trump made it very clear that he is doing his DEMOCRAT friends a favor.

By announcing and calling on Bondi to initiate an investigation into Democrats linked to Epstein — anything related to an ongoing investigation can be redacted from said files.m

The timing of that followed by his manipulative u-turn in signing the bill (which he doesn’t need Congress for by the way…to release…) was fully intentional.

Don’t throw President Trump into that briar patch!

[Red6]

That’s the other extreme.

Nothing Trump does will be good enough for them.

This is a good move by Trump but if he is sincere and wants to give this teeth, they need to have folks comb through all the classified files, redact, and then publish them too.

Shy of a CHS, specific technical capabilities, information that would tip off folks regards ongoing investigations, or privacy protected information regards the victims and others, EVERYTHING needs to be dumped out there. Every stupid email where some SA makes a joke, every IAs notes, every linguist’a summary, all the character assessments, interview statements, the entire case files to include the restricted files, even SIM information should be reviewed and released where possible.

Redact it all to make sure the bad guys don’t get ripped off

But release everything, and the unclassified material is only the tip of the iceberg.

[Red6]

Tipped off.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah cause Trump really wants to protect the party that tried to KILL HIM TWICE and tried to put his entire family in prison

[Sarah Barracuda]

Trump is protecting who the Biden regime protected when they had power for four years, foreign leaders who they need to do business with. Trump is making trade deals and doing other deals with foreign nations, I bet many of them have Epstein connections

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Either that, or the files will be a sea of black Sharpie ink. Gotta protect those powerful pervos, you know.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

Makes sense thank you.

Royal Family being protected out of courtesy too. Andrew is still out and about. Just “exiled.”
