On November 19th, 2025, the Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, after successfully passing through the House and Senate. The Transparency Act requires the Department of Justice to release all unclassified records, communications, documents, and other materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and associates within 30 days of the act being passed. Today, 30 days later, the files are scheduled for release.
According to the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, hundreds of thousands of files are going to be released today concerning the case of Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. It is also noted that, despite the requirements of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Blanche mentioned that not all the files will be released today as ordered.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche gave the following statement regarding the release schedule of the files: “I expect that we’re going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks,” they continue, “So today, several hundred thousand, and then over the next couple of weeks I expect several hundred thousand more.”
The delay in the release of the file is potentially unlawful as the Epstein Files Transparency Act states that “no record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the following: “The Trump administration had 30 days to release ALL the Epstein files, not just some. Failing to do so is breaking the law.”
Currently, the files have not yet been released, and it is uncertain what will be in the documents released today.
