Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405) on November 18-19, 2025, with the House voting 427-1 and the Senate by unanimous consent; President Trump signed it the same day. Rep. Thomas Massie forced the vote via a discharge petition that reached 218 signatures on November 12, joined by 214 Democrats and 4 Republicans. Deputy AG Todd Blanche announced on January 30, 2026 that DOJ released 3.5 million pages — but DOJ had identified over 6 million responsive pages, leaving roughly 2.5 million unreleased. DOJ simultaneously published unredacted names and images of at least 43 survivors while redacting names of wealthy associates.
