President Trump signed a bill Wednesday compelling the Justice Department to release files from its investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This comes after a near-unanimous vote in the House and Senate ordering the DOJ to release the Epstein files. Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that the DOJ will release the files within 30 days, but hinted that the Justice Department may cite ongoing investigations or other reasons to hold back material.

On Wednesday, a Republican effort to censure the Democratic delegate from the Virgin Islands, Stacey Plaskett, failed on the House floor. Documents from Epstein’s estate released last week showed that Plaskett was exchanging texts with Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing.
