U.S. Government Faces Pressure to Unseal Documents Related to Sex Trafficker Jeffrey Epstein Amid Ongoing Controversy.
The signing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act by President Donald Trump has triggered a flurry of activity from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, urging Attorney General Pam Bondi not to delay the release of documents related to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The law, which was passed by Congress with bipartisan support, requires the Department of Justice to make all relevant files available to the public within 30 days.
The bill's co-sponsors, Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie, have expressed their satisfaction at having played a key role in pushing the legislation through Congress. In a social media post, Khanna claimed that he and his Republican counterpart had "awakened Congress" to take action on the issue. Meanwhile, Massie warned Bondi directly, stating that she now has 30 days to comply with the new act.
Bondi has assured that the DOJ will follow the law and provide maximum transparency in releasing the files, while also protecting the rights of Epstein's victims. However, some lawmakers are skeptical about her intentions, including Sen. Adam Schiff, who expressed concerns that Trump's signature on the bill does not guarantee that all relevant information will be made public.
In a recent interview with MS NOW, Schiff warned that there is likely to be more stonewalling and cover-ups in the coming days as the government tries to justify its delay tactics. The pressure from lawmakers is growing by the day, with Rep. Robert Garcia demanding that the DOJ release all relevant files "regardless of any federal investigations."
The Republican party has also weighed in on the issue, with Sen. Eric Schmitt calling the bill's passage a positive development and stating that he believes all credible information should be released without delay. Another senator, Thom Tillis, has echoed this sentiment, warning that delaying the release could add fuel to the fire and further antagonize an already outraged public.
With time running out, Bondi is under increasing pressure to deliver on her promise to comply with the new law. As the clock ticks down, it remains to be seen whether she will be able to meet the 30-day deadline and provide the transparency that lawmakers are demanding.

30 days to go, let's see if they can deliver 
`
`
`
. Like, some lawmakers are saying there's gonna be more covering up going on, which is super sketchy 
. But if Bondi is genuinely trying to do right by Epstein's victims, then I'm all about that transparency life 
! Can't wait to see the docz drop and finally get some answers 
. Time's running out, though - 30 days ain't gonna last forever 
. He had some powerful friends and he thought he could get away with what he did, but now people in Congress are getting mad because they signed a law that says all his secrets have to come out 
. They're worried that the government will just try to hide stuff or change what's already known 
. I don't think this is good for the victims of Epstein who are still trying to move on from what happened to them 
.
. It's not right that one person could have so much influence over others, especially when they've done something so wrong 
. I hope the government follows through on their promise and releases all the information 
.
. He was like "oh no I'm going down" but then nothing happened and everyone just forgot about it 
. Now we're hearing all these whispers that someone high up is trying to cover it up again 
It feels like a PR stunt to me. I mean, what if Bondi really does comply with the law and it blows some major scandal wide open? The government doesn't want that to happen, trust me. 
Schiff's right on this one - there's gonna be more stonewalling going down. Mark my words...
