President Donald Trump signed a bill to release the Jeffrey Epstein files after the House voted overwhelmingly to pass the measure and the Senate followed suit in a sweeping sign of bipartisan unity.
Trump signed the bill after a furious political battle fractured his own party. He delivered a scathing warning to Democrats that the ‘hoax’ would backfire while claiming that, despite stalling, he wanted to released the infamous files all along.
‘Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES,’ he wrote in an epic 390-word rant on Truth Social on Wednesday night.
Trump noted the billionaire financier was charged by his Justice Department back in 2019, and that Epstein was ‘a lifelong Democrat‘ who donated thousands to the party and associated with high profile politicians from the left.
He singled out ‘Bill Clinton (who traveled on his plane 26 times), Larry Summers (who just resigned from many Boards, including Harvard)… and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (who asked Epstein to donate to his Campaign AFTER Epstein was charged)’ among others in his scathing takedown.
Earlier on Wednesday, the late sex offender’s brother Mark sensationally claimed Republicans’ names are being scrubbed from the files ahead of their release.
‘Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump,’ Mark Epstein continued. He then claimed that it’s ‘provable’ Trump had been to Jeffrey Epstein’s house, despite the president’s denial.
‘Jeffrey told me that if he said what he knew about the candidates, they’d have to cancel the [2016] election.’
President Donald Trump has signed a bill to release every single Jeffrey Epstein while delivering a scathing warning that the ‘hoax’ will backfire on Democrats. Pictured: Donald Trump with Melania, Jeffrey Epstein and British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell at the Mar-a-Lago Club, February 12, 2000
Trump’s decision comes after a bill to release the highly sought after files was passed in both the House and the Senate this week
But Trump said he personally asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune to ensure the bill would pass through the chambers.
There had been mass infighting within the Republican party leading up to Trump’s order over whether or not to side with the Democrat bill to release the files.
‘Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage,’ Trump said.
Just one Republican voted against the bill in the House, and it passed unanimously in the Senate.
Clay Higgins, of Louisiana, faced backlash for his decision to vote against the bill, but said he did so to enshrine the sanctity of the criminal justice system, arguing that witnesses had been given protections which risked being eroded if the files are published.
‘At my direction, the Department of Justice has already turned over close to fifty thousand pages of documents to Congress,’ he said.
‘Do not forget — The Biden Administration did not turn over a SINGLE file or page related to Democrat Epstein, nor did they ever even speak about him.’
Trump accused Democrats of using the public’s interest in Epstein in an effort to ‘distract from our AMAZING Victories’, but he warned it will ‘affect them far more than the Republican party.’

‘Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES,’ he wrote in an epic 390-word rant on Truth Social on Wednesday night
‘For years our Great Nation has had to endure RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, IMPEACHMENT HOAX #1, IMPEACHMENT HOAX #2, and many other Democrat created Witch Hunts and Scams, all of which have been so terrible and divisive for our Country, and have been done to confuse, deflect, and distract from the GREAT JOB that Republicans, and the Trump Administration, are doing,’ he wrote.
‘This latest Hoax will backfire on the Democrats just as all of the rest have.’
It comes after leaked emails Epstein sent to himself in February 2019 revealed the disgraced pedophile billionaire claimed that Trump had often visited his home in Palm Beach.
‘[REDACTED] worked at Mar-a-Lago. Trump knew of it, and came to my house many times during that period,’ Epstein wrote, six months before he was found hanged at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.
He also boasted ‘I am the one able to take him down’, as he branded Trump the ‘dog who hasn’t barked’ while claiming he spent ‘hours’ with a sex abuse victim.
Epstein appeared to be spiraling as he was facing new charges of abusing dozens of girls following a bombshell investigation by the Miami Herald in 2019. It came more than a decade after he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008.

The pedophile appears to downplay the significance of his abuse to victims, writing: ‘the girls returned the house multiple times. For 200 dollars for a rub and tug. No sex. Some worked in the local massage parlors. Most in their twenties.’
Trump famously expelled the financier around October 2007, according to the Mar-a-Lago’s Club registry.
The president has since revealed Epstein was ‘stealing’ young women who worked at his estate.
This is a breaking news story. More to come.
