Trump firma el proyecto de ley para publicar los archivos Epstein… con importantes excepciones

La administración Trump pasó semanas trabajando entre bastidores para frenar o bloquear un impulso del Congreso para forzar la publicación de los archivos de Epstein, con Trump desestimando repetidamente el esfuerzo como un engaño demócrata y haciendo todo lo posible para evitar que los documentos salgan a la luz.

Pero esa estrategia se derrumbó bajo una intensa presión bipartidista, que culminó con la firma por parte de Trump de la Ley de Transparencia de los Archivos Epstein, que obliga al Departamento de Justicia a hacer públicos los documentos en un plazo de 30 días.

Un acuerdo casi total en Washington

El proyecto de ley fue aprobado en la Cámara de Representantes por 427 votos a favor y 1 en contra y en el Senado por unanimidad, lo que refleja un acuerdo casi total en Washington sobre la necesidad de una mayor transparencia en torno al caso Epstein.

Sin embargo, a pesar de la amplitud del mandato, muchos observadores dudan de que el público pueda ver pronto el contenido completo de los expedientes.

La ley permite a los fiscales y al Departamento de Justicia, bajo el control de Pam Bondi, retener o redactar en gran medida el material vinculado a las investigaciones en curso, la información clasificada, o cualquier información que se considere que plantea un riesgo para la seguridad del gobierno, dejando al Departamento de Justicia con gran discreción sobre lo que realmente se revela.

Los críticos advierten que estas excepciones, combinadas con la insistencia del DOJ en que la mayor parte del material divulgable ya es público, podrían significar que algunos de los registros más sensibles permanezcan ocultos durante meses o incluso años, incluso cuando el reloj marque el plazo de 30 días.

La investigación podría retrasar años la publicación de todos los archivos de Epstein

Ante la presión de los periodistas, Pam Bondi sólo tuvo una respuesta: « Seguiremos cumpliendo la ley con la máxima transparencia a la vez que protegemos a las víctimas »

Pero en un último esfuerzo por bloquear la publicación de los archivos Epstein, Trump pidió al Departamento de Justicia que investigara a Bill Clinton, Larry Summers y otros demócratas de alto perfil por presuntos vínculos con Jeffrey Epstein. Pam Bondi respondió asignando al fiscal federal Jay Clayton para dirigir la investigación « con urgencia e integridad ».

Este movimiento pone en peligro la publicación del conjunto completo de archivos, a pesar de la aprobación de la Cámara de Representantes, el Senado y la firma final de Trump, y abre la puerta a una investigación que podría prolongarse durante años antes de que se haga público alguno de estos documentos.

El escándalo presidencial más explosivo de la historia

La presión en torno a los archivos Epstein ha alcanzado un nivel al que Trump nunca antes se había enfrentado, alimentando las especulaciones de que los documentos podrían ocultar el escándalo presidencial más explosivo de la historia moderna de Estados Unidos.

Queda por ver si la firma de Trump aliviará la presión pública o si seguirá aumentando, como lo ha hecho durante meses.

Durante décadas, Donald Trump y Jeffrey Epstein se movieron en los mismos círculos de Palm Beach y Nueva York, asistiendo a las mismas fiestas y apareciendo juntos en Mar-a-Lago, antes de que Trump afirmara desde entonces que había cortado lazos con Epstein « hace mucho tiempo » y que ya no era su amigo.

Sin embargo, correos electrónicos recientemente publicados citados por el patrimonio de Epstein sugieren que su relación pudo haber continuado en la primera presidencia de Trump: en un intercambio del Día de Acción de Gracias de 2017 con la ejecutiva de modelos Faith Kates, Epstein, cuando se le preguntó quién más estaba con él, simplemente respondió: « David Fizel, Hanson y Trump »

The decision represents a stunning reversal for the president aimed chiefly at quelling a brewing GOP revolt and restoring his iron grip over the party. But few believe the path will be so easy from here. https://cnn.it/484YoNt

Trump and Vance Were Not Invited At Cheney’s Funeral

No Invite for Trump and Vance at Dick Cheney’s Funeral

The president, Donald Trump, and the vice president, JD Vance, were left off the guest list for the invitation-only funeral at Washington’s National Cathedral on Thursday morning, even as more than 1,000 people were expected to attend, including four living former vice presidents and two former presidents.

Across the political spectrum

At the funeral of former Vice President Dick Cheney at Washington’s National Cathedral, the presence of Joe Biden and George W. Bush, former vice presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence and Al Gore, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Brett Kavanaugh, senior Cabinet members from both Republican and Democratic administrations, as well as congressional leaders such as Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell offered a stark visual contrast.

Washington’s traditional political and institutional class united to honor Cheney while the sitting president and vice president were conspicuously absent.

During the service, tributes to Cheney mixed the political and the deeply personal. George W. Bush remembered his vice president as a trusted partner, saying «They do not come any better than Dick Cheney» and «He was everything a President should expect in a second-in-command», before closing with the promise «Somewhere up the trail, we will meet again».

His daughter, Liz Cheney, offered a more intimate portrait, recalling that «The night before my dad died, the sky about my parents’ house filled with clouds in the shape of winged angels», and that «As my dad left this earth, his last words were to tell my mother he loved her», calling «One of the greatest blessings of my life» the time she had with him.

Never be trusted again

Dick Cheney, long seen as one of the most polarizing Republican vice presidents, started by backing Trump in 2016 but ultimately broke with him over January 6 and Trump’s refusal to accept the 2020 election results.

In 2024, he went even further and publicly announced he would vote for Kamala Harris, crossing party lines and warning that Trump was a «greater threat to our republic» who «can never be trusted with power again».

«Somewhere up the trail, we will meet again».

-George W. Bush

That endorsement, widely described as an extraordinary and even shocking move for a lifelong Republican, crystallized the rupture between Cheney and the MAGA wing he believed was endangering democratic norms.

Liz Cheney also campaigned alongside Kamala Harris during the 2024 race.

In that context, Trump and Vance’s absence from Cheney’s funeral — and the lack of an invitation in the first place — is not just a matter of protocol, but a visible symbol of how completely Cheney had turned away from Trump’s Republican Party by the end of his life .

President Trump was not invited the memorial service for Dick Cheney on Thursday, and Vice President JD Vance was also not in attendance. Cheney, a once-powerful Republican, turned on Trump last year by announcing he would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
