The news just came, just came, just as you would expect, in a post on truth social.

This is a very long truth social post.

And halfway down, a long rambling screed, basically about Democrats,

Donald Trump announced tonight that he has signed the bill to release the Epstein files into law.

And as much as Trump wants to make it seem like, this was his secret

three-dimensional chess plan all along. The fact of the matter is, this is a failure for him.

Trump completely failed at his repeated attempts to make this story go away. By a million times,

he tried to make it go away. He fought this so hard and for so long.

And tonight he did something that he really did not want to do. And to really understand how we

arrived at this moment, to really understand the corner he has backed himself into, I just want to

go back for a moment to where this all started. Because it was less than five

weeks into Trump's second term when Trump's newly appointed Attorney General, Pam Bondi, went on

Fox News and said this. One of the things that you alluded to, and this is something Donald Trump

has talked about,

that DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients? Will that really happen?

It's sitting on my desk right now to review. I mean, that was February 21st. And Pam Bondi,

without any prompting from Democrats or Epstein survivors, it seemed,

told the world that she had the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients that was sitting on her desk.

And those comments got Maga pretty excited. I mean, after all, they had made the releasing of

the Epstein files a core demand of their entire movement. And now Pan Bondi was saying, I've got them. Get ready, everyone.

They're going to, I'm going to release them. I'm reviewing them on my desk.

Now here's where it gets hairy for the Attorney General.
