特朗普签署《爱泼斯坦档案透明法》，司法部须在30天内公开全部相关档案
2025年11月19日，美国总统特朗普在华盛顿签署H.R. 4405号法案《爱泼斯坦档案透明法》，法案成为第119-38号公共法。白宫在签署声明中说，该法要求美国司法部长公开司法部持有的与Jeffrey Epstein有关的全部文件和记录。
法案此前一天在众议院以427票对1票通过，11月19日在参议院以一致同意方式通过，随后送交总统签署。
法律第二条规定，司法部长须在法案生效后30天内，以可搜索、可下载的格式，公开司法部持有的全部未保密记录、文件、通讯与调查材料，包括联邦调查局与各联邦检察官办公室持有的、与对Epstein的调查和起诉有关的材料。按此期限，公开截止日为2025年12月19日。
法律同时划定公开的边界：任何记录不得以令人尴尬、损害声誉或政治敏感为由被扣留、拖延或涂黑，即使涉及政府官员、公众人物或外国政要也不例外；每一处涂黑都必须附书面理由、在《联邦公报》刊登并提交国会。司法部长可以扣留或涂黑的，只限于法律列明的少数情形，例如受害人的个人身份信息与医疗档案、儿童性虐待材料，以及公开会危及正在进行中的联邦调查的内容。
法律还要求，司法部长在完成公开后15天内，向众议院与参议院司法委员会提交报告，列明已公开的记录类别与被扣留记录的类别及法律依据。
Trump Signs Epstein Files Transparency Act, Requiring the Justice Department to Release All Related Files Within 30 Days
On November 19, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed into law in Washington H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which became Public Law 119-38. In its signing statement, the White House said the act requires the Attorney General to release all documents and records in the possession of the Department of Justice relating to Jeffrey Epstein.
The House of Representatives had passed the bill the previous day by a vote of 427 to 1, and the Senate passed it on November 19 by unanimous consent before it was sent to the President for signature.
Section 2 of the act requires the Attorney General, not later than 30 days after enactment, to make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and United States Attorneys' Offices, that relate to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. Under that timetable, the release deadline is December 19, 2025.
The act also sets limits on withholding: no record may be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary, and all redactions must be accompanied by a written justification published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress. The Attorney General may withhold or redact only the categories the act specifies, such as personally identifiable information and medical files of victims, child sexual abuse material, and material whose disclosure would jeopardize an active federal investigation.
The act further requires the Attorney General, within 15 days of completing the release, to submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on the Judiciary listing the categories of records released and the categories withheld, together with the legal basis for withholding them.
