The FBI has deployed police officers to guard a records facility where materials from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation are stored, after online chatter raised concerns about possible demonstrations, Bloomberg News reported.
According to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires the Justice Department to release all unclassified materials within 30 days in a searchable, downloadable format.
President Donald Trump signed the measure into law on Wednesday.
"I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!" Trump wrote in a lengthy message on the Truth Social platform. "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. Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage.
"At my direction, the Department of Justice has already turned over close to fifty thousand pages of documents to Congress. 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."
Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters Wednesday that she would comply with the law after it was signed.
WATCH: Blame game takes place in Congress over Epstein files
Bloomberg previously reported that FBI agents from the New York and Washington field offices, along with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) staff and background-check specialists, spent months in Winchester combing through every Epstein-related document. They worked to determine which materials could legally be disclosed to the American public under FOIA’s nine exemptions.
That review concluded in May, and the results were forwarded to Bondi. The FBI and DOJ said on X that no additional releases were warranted.
The renewed scrutiny of the files comes as the House Oversight Committee last week published thousands of Epstein’s recovered emails.
