Trump ordina al DOJ di pubblicare tutti i fascicoli Epstein in 30 giorni ma il panico monta per lacune clamorose
Il presidente degli Stati Uniti, Donald Trump, ha dato al Dipartimento di Giustizia 30 giorni per pubblicare tutti i fascicoli raccolti durante diverse indagini federali su Jeffrey Epstein, ma la paura si è rapidamente insinuata non appena sono emerse lacune significative. Trump ha firmato la legge per pubblicare oltre 100.000 pagine sul miliardario pedofilo dopo che la Camera dei Rappresentanti aveva votato in modo schiacciante per il provvedimento e il Senato aveva seguito in un chiaro segnale di unità bipartisan. "As everyone knows, I asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to pass this Bill in the House and Senate, respectively," Trump said on Truth Social. Ma nonostante Trump firmi la legge, restavano domande significative per i democratici sperando che associati di Epstein e le sue nefaste attività avrebbero finalmente affrontato la giustizia. "I have no trust, no confidence whatsoever that this Justice Department will be even-handed or fair in the disclosure of these files," Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said on CNN. "We have other tools and techniques… We’ve already begun the effort to scrutinize and oversee the Department of Justice." Trump even hinted in his statement Wednesday night that he hoped to expose Democrats with the release of the files. "Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed," he said.

President Donald Trump has signed a bill to release every single Jeffrey Epstein while delivering a scathing warning that the 'hoax' will backfire on Democrats. Pictured: Donald Trump with Melania, Jeffrey Epstein and British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell at the Mar-a-Lago Club, February 12, 2000 Trump's decision comes after a bill to release the highly sought after files was passed in both the House and the Senate this week Ma Trump's close relationship with Epstein has been known for decades and the files could bring some embarrassing information to light. Earlier on Wednesday, the late sex offender's brother Mark claimed Republicans' names are being scrubbed from the files ahead of their release. "Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump," Mark Epstein said. Do YOU agree with Trump that this will backfire on the Democrats? He then claimed that it's 'provable' Trump had been to Jeffrey Epstein's house, despite the president's denial. "Jeffrey told me that if he said what he knew about the candidates, they'd have to cancel the [2016] election." Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said top Democrats were already planning to make sure Trump followed through with the legal requirement. "There must be no funny business from Donald Trump,’ Schumer said. "This bill is a command for the president to be fully transparent, to come fully clean, and to provide full honesty to the American people, even if he doesn’t want to.’ Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared less than certain on Wednesday, telling reporters only that her department would "follow the law" and protect the Epstein victims. Bondi said that she began an investigation into Democrats mentioned in emails turned over by the Epstein estate after being ordered by Trump. "Information. Information," Bondi said when asked about why she suddenly started the new probe. "There’s information that, new information, additional information." The legislation passed on Tuesday says records can be withheld if they would jeopardize an active federal investigation. The Trump administration may also withhold records that identify victims or include images of child sexual abuse. The Justice Department has already said the files it withheld contained images of victims and videos of illegal child sex abuse. Survivors of the abuse were seeking a full disclosure in order to put an end to a saga that has plagued them for years. "I’m hoping that they’re going to do the right thing and release everything," Sharlene Rochard, a victim of Epstein’s abuse, told CNN. "We just want proof that this happened to us. … And we want to help other girls (so) that — that this doesn’t happen again." "Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES," he wrote in an epic 390-word rant on Truth Social on Wednesday night Trump signed the bill after a group of rogue Republicans sparked a furious political battle that fractured his own party. The House ultimately approved the measure by a staggering vote of 427-1 on Tuesday. Trump said he personally asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune to ensure the bill would pass through the chambers. "Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage," Trump said. Just one Republican - Rep. Clay Higgins (La.) - voted against the bill in the House, and it passed unanimously in the Senate. "At my direction, the Department of Justice has already turned over close to fifty thousand pages of documents to Congress," he said. "Do not forget — The Biden Administration did not turn over a SINGLE file or page related to Democrat Epstein, nor did they ever even speak about him." Epstein died by suicide in jail awaiting trial while his associate Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20 year prison sentence "This latest Hoax will backfire on the Democrats just as all of the rest have." It comes after leaked emails Epstein sent to himself in February 2019 revealed the disgraced pedophile billionaire claimed that Trump had often visited his home in Palm Beach. "[REDACTED] worked at Mar-a-Lago. Trump knew of it, and came to my house many times during that period," Epstein wrote, six months before he was found hanged at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. He also boasted "I am the one able to take him down", as he branded Trump the 'dog who hasn’t barked' while claiming he spent 'hours' with a sex abuse victim. Epstein appeared to be spiraling as he was facing new charges of abusing dozens of girls following a bombshell investigation by the Miami Herald in 2019. It came more than a decade after he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008. The pedophile appears to downplay the significance of his abuse to victims, writing: "the girls returned the house multiple times. For 200 dollars for a rub and tug. No sex. Some worked in the local massage parlors. Most in their twenties." Trump famously expelled the financier around October 2007, according to the Mar-a-Lago's Club registry. The president has since revealed Epstein was "stealing" young women who worked at his estate.

La legge passa bipartisanmente e la scadenza di 30 giorni per la pubblicazione dei file Epstein
La legge per la pubblicazione dei fascicoli Epstein è stata approvata in entrambe le Camere, segnando una linea di unità bipartisan. Dopo l’approvazione, Trump ha annunciato di aver firmato la legge. Nonostante la firma, restano domande e provocazioni politiche, comprese le aspettative di trasparenza e la possibilità che alcuni documenti possano essere oscurati per motivi di indagine attiva o per protezione delle vittime. The legislation passed on Tuesday says records can be withheld if they would jeopardize an active federal investigation. The Justice Department has already said the files it withheld contained images of victims and videos of illegal child sex abuse. Sharlene Rochard, a victim of Epstein’s abuse, told CNN: "I’m hoping that they’re going to do the right thing and release everything." Epstein died by suicide in jail awaiting trial while his associate Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20 year prison sentence.
Dubbi e posizioni politiche: Blumenthal, Schumer, Bondi e i dibattiti sulla trasparenza
I democratici hanno espresso scetticismo sul modo in cui i documenti verranno resi pubblici e chi ne sarà esposto. Il senatore Richard Blumenthal ha dichiarato a CNN di non avere fiducia nello stile dell’eventuale divulgazione dei fascicoli da parte del DOJ. Chuck Schumer ha avvertito che non ci dovrebbero essere manovre strane da parte di Trump e ha definito la legge come un comando per la trasparenza. "I have no trust, no confidence whatsoever that this Justice Department will be even-handed or fair in the disclosure of these files," Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said on CNN. "There must be no funny business from Donald Trump,’ Schumer said. "This bill is a command for the president to be fully transparent, to come fully clean, and to provide full honesty to the American people, even if he doesn’t want to.’ L’avvocato generale Pam Bondi ha dichiarato che lo staff si dovrebbe attenere alle regole legali e proteggere le vittime, aggiungendo che l’ufficio ha avviato una nuova indagine su alcuni Democratici menzionati nelle email fornite dal patrimonio Epstein. "Information. Information," Bondi said quando le hanno chiesto perché avesse avviato l’indagine. "There’s information that, new information, additional information."
Retroscena e contenuti sensibili nei fascicoli Epstein e le rivelazioni inedite
La legislazione consente anche di trattenere i fascicoli che potrebbero ostacolare un’indagine federale in corso, e il Dipartimento della Giustizia ha dichiarato che i fascicoli trattenuti contenevano immagini di vittime e video di abusi sessuali su minori. Molti sopravvissuti chiedono una piena disclosure per porre fine a questa lunga saga. Le email inviate dallo stesso Epstein, nel 2019, suggeriscono che Epstein aveva affermato che Trump aveva visitato spesso la sua casa a Palm Beach e che aveva tentato di “spiegare” vari collegamenti politici. Epstein si è trovato al centro di nuove accuse di abuso su dozzine di ragazze dopo un’inchiesta del Miami Herald nel 2019. L’epidemia di confessioni era arrivata più di un decennio dopo che Epstein era stato condannato nel 2008 per aver sollecitato una minorenne a prostituirsi. Epstein sembrava minimizzare la gravità degli abusi descrivendo situazioni confuse in una nota dove si leggeva: "the girls returned the house multiple times. For 200 dollars for a rub and tug. No sex. Some worked in the local massage parlors. Most in their twenties." Trump ha inoltre espulso Epstein intorno a ottobre 2007, secondo i registri del Mar-a-Lago Club, e ha ricordato che Epstein aveva “rubato” giovani donne che lavoravano nel suo patrimonio.
