WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump on Nov. 19 signed into law a bill to release the files surrounding deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Jeffrey Epstein … 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 post on Truth Social after signing the Congress-passed bill.
