Kamala Accuses Trump of ‘Gaslighting’ America While He Unseals the Epstein Records [WATCH]

Former Vice President Kamala Harris pressed President Donald Trump on Wednesday to immediately release the Epstein files, accusing him of attempting to “gaslight the American people” by saying he was waiting for congressional authorization.

Harris made the comments during an appearance on a podcast with The Bulwark, where she claimed Trump could act unilaterally, as reported by Fox News.

“All of a sudden he’s saying he’ll wait to see what Congress does. Since when?” Harris said. “All of a sudden now he’s waiting for Congress to green light what he will do or wants to do? Come on.”

Harris then added, “So, release the files! Release the files. He is the president of the United States, the head of the executive branch. He has taken unilateral action without concern about the three co-equal branches of government on almost everything he has done, so release the files.”

Her remarks came just hours before Trump announced he had signed legislation authorizing the release of the files.

“I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He said he had urged House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune to move the measure forward. “Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage,” Trump wrote.

He also stated that the Department of Justice had already provided Congress with “close to fifty thousand pages of documents.”

Trump contrasted that with actions taken under the previous administration. “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,” Trump wrote.

The House approved the Epstein Files Transparency Act on Tuesday by a vote of 421–1. The Senate followed with unanimous consent. The push for disclosure was led by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and several other lawmakers.

The legislation directs the Justice Department to release all unclassified materials linked to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including records connected to individuals referenced in Epstein’s prior legal matters.

The mandate also includes investigative materials, internal DOJ communications involving Epstein, and files concerning the investigation into his death.

The statute allows the Justice Department to redact or withhold information if it contains victims’ names, child sexual abuse materials, classified content, or details that could compromise active investigations.

Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters Wednesday that the Justice Department would follow the law, which requires the files to be published online in a searchable format within 30 days.
