Is this law required to release the files?
It seems Trump.would have the power to order Pam to release any files, regardless of the classification.

Here is the section with the "16 mentions", which I would consider only one mention—but it's a good one!
Quote:Books and newspaper stories about Trump’s forty-five years in business were full of his shady dealings, and his arrival in the White House only helped to highlight them and surface even juicier ones. Real estate was the world’s favorite money-laundering currency, and Trump’s B-level real estate business—relentlessly marketed by Trump as triple A—was quite explicitly designed to appeal to money launderers. What’s more, Trump’s own financial woes, and desperate efforts to maintain his billionaire lifestyle, cachet, and market viability, forced him into constant and unsubtle schemes. In the high irony department, Jared Kushner, when he was in law school, and before he met Ivanka, identified, in a paper he wrote, possible claims of fraud against the Trump Organization in a particular real estate deal he was studying—a subject now of quite some amusement among his acquaintances at the time. Practically speaking, Trump hid in plain sight, as the prosecutors appeared to be finding.
In November 2004, for instance, Jeffrey Epstein, the financier later caught in a scandal involving underage prostitutes, agreed to purchase from bankruptcy a house in Palm Beach, Florida, for $36 million, a property that had been on the market for two years. Epstein and Trump had been close friends—playboys in arms, as it were—for more than a decade, with Trump often seeking Epstein’s help with his chaotic financial affairs. Soon after negotiating the deal for the house in Palm Beach, Epstein took Trump to see it, looking for advice on construction issues involved with moving the swimming pool. But as he prepared to finalize his purchase for the house, Epstein discovered that Trump, who was severely cash-constrained at the time, had bid $41 million for the property and bought it out from under Epstein through an entity called Trump Properties LLC, entirely financed by Deutsche Bank, which was already carrying a substantial number of troubled loans to the Trump Organization and to Trump personally.
Trump, Epstein knew, had been loaning out his name in real estate deals—that is, for an ample fee, Trump would serve as a front man to disguise the actual ownership in a real estate transaction. (This was, in a sense, another variation of Trump’s basic business model of licensing his name for commercial properties owned by someone else.) A furious Epstein, certain that Trump was merely fronting for the real owners, threatened to expose the deal, which was getting extensive coverage in Florida papers. The fight became all the more bitter when, not long after the purchase, Trump put the house on the market for $125 million.
But if Epstein knew some of Trump’s secrets, Trump knew some of Epstein’s. Trump often saw the financier at Epstein’s current Palm Beach house, and Trump knew that Epstein was visited almost every day, and had been for many years, by girls he’d hired to give him massages that often had happy endings—girls recruited from local restaurants, strip clubs, and, also, Trump’s own Mar-a-Lago. Just as the enmity between the two friends increased over the house purchase, Epstein found himself under investigation by the Palm Beach police. And as Epstein’s legal problems escalated, the house, with only minor improvements, was acquired for $96 million by Dmitry Rybolovlev, an oligarch who was part of the close Putin circle of government-aligned industrialists in Russia, and who, in fact, never moved into the house. Trump had, miraculously, earned $55 million without putting up a dime. Or, more likely, Trump merely earned a fee for hiding the real owner—a shadow owner quite possibly being funneled cash by Rybolovlev for other reasons beyond the value of the house. Or, possibly, the real owner and real buyer were one and the same. Rybolovlev might have, in effect, paid himself for the house, thereby cleansing the additional $55 million for the second purchase of the house.
This was Donald Trump’s world of real estate.

I guess Stacey Plaskett (D) was great buddies with Epstein too…
Quote:Report: Jeffrey Epstein Texted with House Democrat While She Questioned Ex-Trump Lawyer
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/...mp-lawyer/
Thousands of pages of emails, texts, and other documents from Epstein’s estate were released last Wednesday by the House Oversight Committee, uncovering shocking communication between the convicted predator and Del. Stacey Plaskett (D) of the U.S. Virgin Islands as she prepared to question Michael Cohen, Trump’s ex-lawyer-turned-critic.
Quote:“Great outfit,” he texted again, as he watched the hearing around 10:00 a.m. “You look great,” he added 20 minutes later.

How about some more Democratic party shenanigans as most of the people are being deceived by outfits like CNN, Euro News, and other deep state propaganda outlets.

How needs what when people were actively working with Epstein before his death to get dirt on Trump.
The likes of Wolff and are Stacey Plaskett (D) were actually working with Epstein to get dirt on Trump, and the best the dems could come up with was a Russian dossier full of lies and fake allegations of golden showers?

Since when does Trump bother with laws?
Trump can release the files today if he wanted to, but he does not want to. More theatre, distraction and confusion is the game play now.
Bondi and Patel previously sent out a public statement that their investigation of all the Epstein files resulted in 'nothing to see here' and that 'no further investigation is required' - case closed. Now, all of a sudden, there is more investigation required as per Trump? Get a grip people, on reality.
Watch the survivors at the Capitol Bldg. today. What they have to say is the most important for people in power to push for justice to be served.

You are in no position to be commenting on anyone conning anyone.
As a staunch Liberal/Commie supporter, you've been completely conned by the con artists.
