President Donald Trump gave the Department of Justice 30 days to release all the files collected over multiple federal investigations into Jeffrey Epstein – but panic quickly set in as major loopholes were exposed. 

Trump signed the bill to release the more than 100,000 pages on the billionaire pedophile after the House voted overwhelmingly to pass the measure and the Senate followed suit in a sweeping sign of bipartisan unity. 

‘As everyone knows, I asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to pass this Bill in the House and Senate, respectively,’ Trump said on Truth Social. 

But despite Trump signing the bill, significant questions remained for Democrats hoping associates of Epstein and his nefarious activities would finally face justice. 

‘I have no trust, no confidence whatsoever that this Justice Department will be even-handed or fair in the disclosure of these files,’ Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said on CNN. 

‘We have other tools and techniques… We’ve already begun the effort to scrutinize and oversee the Department of Justice.’ 

Trump even hinted in his statement Wednesday night that he hoped to expose Democrats with the release of the files. 

‘Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed,’ he said. 

But Trump’s close relationship with Epstein has been known for decades and the files could bring some embarrassing information to light.

Earlier on Wednesday, the late sex offender’s brother Mark claimed Republicans’ names are being scrubbed from the files ahead of their release. 

‘Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump,’ Mark Epstein said. 

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.’

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said top Democrats were already planning to make sure Trump followed through with the legal requirement.

‘There must be no funny business from Donald Trump,’ Schumer said. 

‘This bill is a command for the president to be fully transparent, to come fully clean, and to provide full honesty to the American people, even if he doesn’t want to.’ 

Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared less than certain on Wednesday, telling reporters only that her department would ‘follow the law’ and protect the Epstein victims. 

Bondi said that she began an investigation into Democrats mentioned in emails turned over by the Epstein estate after being ordered by Trump. 

‘Information. Information,’ Bondi said when asked about why she suddenly started the new probe. ‘There’s information that, new information, additional information.’ 

The legislation passed on Tuesday says records can be withheld if they would jeopardize an active federal investigation. 

The Trump administration may also withhold records that identify victims or include images of child sexual abuse. 

The Justice Department has already said the files it withheld contained images of victims and videos of illegal child sex abuse. 

Survivors of the abuse were seeking a full disclosure in order to put an end to a saga that has plagued them for years.  

‘I’m hoping that they’re going to do the right thing and release everything,’ Sharlene Rochard, a victim of Epstein’s abuse, told CNN. 

‘We just want proof that this happened to us. … And we want to help other girls (so) that — that this doesn’t happen again.’

Trump signed the bill after a group of rogue Republicans sparked a furious political battle that fractured his own party. The House ultimately approved the measure by a staggering vote of 427-1 on Tuesday. 

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.

‘Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage,’ Trump said.

Just one Republican – Rep. Clay Higgins (La.) – voted against the bill in the House, and it passed unanimously in the Senate. 

‘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.’

‘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.
