U.S. President Donald Trump has signed legislation to force the Justice Department to make public its case files on the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but should the American people expect justice to prevail?

To get some idea how far some politicians – American politicians, no less – will go to protect their dalliances spilling into the public realm, consider that on August 20, 1998, the exact day that Monica Lewinsky was scheduled to appear before a grand jury and testify about her affair with then President and Commander-in-Chief Bill Clinton, the United States military obliterated a medicine plant in distant Sudan, announcing that it belonged to Al Qaeda. Suddenly the American people were no longer so transfixed over Miss Lewinsky and the infamous blue dress. Coincidence? Nobody will ever know for sure, but what is known is that the plant was legitimate and had no connection whatsoever to any terrorist group.

Now the world must wonder what devious diversion may occur – false flag, financial collapse, World War III? – when hundreds of the world’s movers and shakers risk being outed in the biggest sex shakedown in modern history. Already, the main antagonist in this made for Netflix saga, Jeffrey Epstein, has long since perished, having somehow found a hook in the ceiling of his New York jail cell with which to conveniently hang himself. Will others follow Mr. Epstein to the grave given the circumstances?

While it’s hard to predict anything in this case with any certainty, consider that just last week U.S. President Donald Trump was vehemently against releasing the files, calling them a “Democrat hoax.” That ploy backfired. The Orange Man forgot that a big part of the reason he was elected to the White House for a second term is because his Republican base is anxious to see members of the Swamp stew in their juices. Trump seemed more than happy to protect his fellow elite – Democrat and Republican alike, it didn’t matter – until the collusion became too obvious and dangerous. On November 18, Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act to release the files related to the late child predator, ending months of resistance to making the records public.

Just hours after Congress rapidly passed legislation to compel the Justice Department to release files related to the late sex offender, the president announced that he had signed the bill into law.

“Jeffrey Epstein, who was charged by the Trump Justice Department in 2019 (Not the Democrats!), was a lifelong Democrat, donated Thousands of Dollars to Democrat Politicians, and was deeply associated with many well-known Democrat figures,” Trump wrote in a windy Truth Social post. He mentioned several Democrats who appeared in emails from Epstein’s estate that the House Oversight Committee made public, including Bill Clinton (yes, Bill certainly got around) and Larry Summers, a former Treasury Secretary and current professor at Harvard University who sought Mr. Epstein’s advice on how to cheat on his wife. It’s probably safe to say that Mr. Summers’ career, if not his marriage, is effectively over.

Already it seems that the Trump administration, which has its own reasons for not wanting the files made public, are taking active steps to hamper the process. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on the same day that Trump signed the legislation that “new information” obtained by investigators had prompted the Justice Department to reverse its earlier decision to close investigations related to Epstein. This is crucial because it will allow the Trump administration to redact any names in the files that are under investigation. Theoretically, this could protect Trump himself from any nefarious associations he may have had with Epstein, keeping in mind that their friendship spanned some 15 years.

Several Republican legislators are warning the White House that withholding records, including possible footage of people who visited Epstein’s various properties, would be a big mistake.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) warned that “people who feel very strongly about this will feel like they’ve been duped” if the Justice Department claims “we can’t release anything because we have an active investigation.”

“I don’t think that that will help calm the suspicions many have harbored for a long while on this,” she said.

Democrats, who pressed the Justice Department for months to release more information related to Epstein, are skeptical, however, that Bondi will follow through on her pledge. After all, we are talking about Pam Bondi, who works for Trump. In other words, this could all be an elaborate setup. Trump stubbornly refused to release the documents, but in the end he lost the gamble. Should we really believe that he’s had a real change of heart?

“He anticipated the outcome and then ordered Bondi to begin other investigations,” said Sen. Peter Welch (Vt.), a Democrat on the Judiciary Committee. “So we’ll be seeing the Justice Department withholding information because it might interfere with ongoing investigations.”

Don’t be fooled by Trump’s bluster, the concealment of misdeeds found in the Epstein files will continue in perpetuity.
