What’s been released is only a small fraction of what the US Department of Justice has collected as part of its investigation into Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. The full “Epstein Files” have been kept from the public due to exhaustive efforts from the Trump administration to avoid transparency, as part of an apparent cover-up to protect wealthy individuals who could be implicated, including the president himself.

A bipartisan effort in the House to release of the Epstein Files made headway this week, after Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) was sworn into office. Grijalva provided the final signature needed on a discharge petition to force a vote on a resolution to release the files, which had been blocked until now by Trump sycophant and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. With the petition filed, the vote is expected to take place as early as December 1.
