WASHINGTON, Nov 19 (Reuters) – The U.S. JusticeDepartment will release files from its investigation into thelate sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days, AttorneyGeneral Pam Bondi said on Wednesday, after Congress voted nearlyunanimously to force President Donald Trump’s administration tomake them public. The material could shed more light on the activities ofEpstein, who socialized with Trump and other notable figuresbefore his 2008 conviction on charges of soliciting a minor forprostitution. At a news conference, Bondi confirmed that the JusticeDepartment will release its Epstein-related material within 30days, as required by legislation that passed theRepublican-controlled House of Representatives and Senate onTuesday. “We will continue to follow the law and encourage maximumtransparency,” she said. But that release may not be comprehensive, as the agency mayhave to hold back material that could impact Trump-orderedinvestigations of Democratic figures who associated withEpstein. The department also will protect the identities of anysex-trafficking victims whose names appear in the documents, shesaid.(Reporting by Andy Sullivan and Jana Winter; Editing by ScottMalone and Daniel Wallis) The post US Justice Department Will Release Epstein Files Within 30 Days, Bondi Says appeared first on The Daily Signal.
