The legislation, which calls for the release of the files "in a searchable and downloadable format" within 30 days, was approved overwhelmingly in both chambers of Congress, the House of Representatives and Senate, on Tuesday.

Trump then announced on his Truth Social platform that he had signed it on Wednesday, starting the clock on release of the files.

Under pressure from Epstein's victims and rank-and-file Republicans, Trump on Sunday made a major reversal in his stance on the files and gave his blessing to passing the legislation. For months, he had resisted unsealing many documents from the federal investigation into the late financier.
