During a swearing-in ceremony for Paul Atkins as the new chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, President Donald Trump was asked point-blank about the long-awaited release of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein.

A reporter asked, "When can we expect the Epstein documents to be released?"

Trump replied, "Which documents?"

"The Epstein files," the reporter clarified.

President Trump responded calmly but pointedly: "I don't know. I'll speak to the attorney general about that. I really don't know."

While Trump didn't give a definitive timeline, he reaffirmed his administration's commitment to radical transparency, pointing to the full release of documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.—releases that, unlike past administrations, he claims were unredacted and unfiltered.
