“We will ... make the Epstein files public, very transparent.”
The promise
Trump committed to releasing the Epstein files and providing transparency about connections, investigations, and withheld documents. That promise was part of a larger “drain the swamp / expose corruption” narrative. However, many related files remain sealed, delayed, or withheld. No comprehensive release has occurred; critics call it a broken promise or obfuscation tactic rather than delivery.
