The Trump administration activates a search portal for the Jeffrey Epstein case files

Washington.- The U.S. Department of Justice activated this Friday a portal to consult hundreds of thousands of files from the investigation into the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, coinciding with the deadline imposed by the law that obliges the Government to disclose all unclassified information in the case. The portal includes a search bar and also allows direct access to judicial records, Justice Department disclosures, material falling under the Freedom of Information Act, and the documentation that the House Oversight Committee has also been publishing since September. Although he was initially reluctant and even furious with those who demanded the publication of all the documents, Trump rectified and signed the law after verifying the strong support of the Legislature.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Shadow Falls on Trump

The Republican president appears numerous times in the documentation of the case concerning his former friend, with whom he claimed to have severed ties in 2004, before Epstein was first accused of abuse and sexual exploitation of minors. The files contain more than 300 gigabytes of information, including everything from FBI documents, deliberations of the Attorney General led by Pam Bondi, to materials on the grand jury investigation that indicted the sex offender in 2019. The controversy surrounding the case of the deceased magnate erupted after the DOJ reported in July that it would not release any more information about the pedophile and assured that he did not have a list of famous clients he was blackmailing, as several conspiracy theories claim. This ignited the MAGA base (acronym for ‘Make America Great Again’), staunch supporters of the Republican president who consider these theories valid – which Trump himself has supported – and who have insistently asked for all the case files to be published, as the president promised.
