Hi, I'm Faith Pino, and you're listening to headlines from LA Times Studios.

Here are some of today's top stories from the Los Angeles Times.

President Trump signed a bill Wednesday, ordering the Justice Department to release all documents related to the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

According to Anna Sabios, Trump announced the move in a lengthy social media post, again attacking Democrats linked to Epstein while avoiding any mention of his own connections to the late financier.

The signature marks a major reversal. For months, Trump worked to block the release of the files.

But after pressure from within his own party, he flipped positions Sunday. Congress moved fast

earlier this week, passing the bill and sending it to his desk within

days. Now responsibility shifts to Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has just 30 days to release

every unclassified record, document, and communication related to the Epstein case. But the law

does allow the department to withhold some material,

including information that identifies victims or could compromise an active investigation.

Just last week, Trump directed the Justice Department to examine Epstein's links to major banks

in several Democratic figures. Bondi confirmed that new investigation Wednesday,

though she didn't say whether or not

it would affect the timeline for releasing the files.

And on Capitol Hill, some lawmakers are already expressing concern,

pointing to Trump's long resistance

to making the records public.

The open question now is whether the Justice Department will release the full set of files

or hold some back.
