Congress passed the Epstein Disclosure Act, requiring the Department of Justice to publicly release all investigative files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case within 90 days, with redactions permitted only to protect the identities of minor victims. The law mandated that any withholdings be individually justified in a classified annex submitted to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. President Biden signed the bill into law on October 2, 2024.
