When Will The Epstein Files Be Released? Here's A Possible Timeline

[Uncle Joe]

President Donald Trump signed legislation Wednesday that orders his administration to release its full files on Jeffrey Epstein, starting the clock for the Justice Department to release documents by the end of December—though it still remains to be seen how much the agency will actually make public.

Key Facts

* The legislation requires the DOJ to release its files on Epstein within 30 days of the bill becoming law, which happened as soon as Trump signed it on Wednesday.

* It’s still unclear when exactly the files could be released, or if the Trump administration could choose to make the documents public in several batches, as they’ve done with turning over Epstein-related documents to the House Oversight Committee.

* Once the files are released, the DOJ will have 15 days to submit a summary of any redactions made to the files, the categories of documents that were both released and withheld, and a full list of “all government officials and politically exposed persons” who are named or referenced in the documents.

* That means all information related to the Epstein files should be released by Jan. 5, 2026, at the latest.
