Why Is It Trending Now?
Search interest in “Epstein files” spiked 1,200% last week, per Google Trends, amid the Act’s deadline and House Oversight’s December 18 photo drop. Photos show associations like Gates and Chomsky, fueling demands for full disclosure.
What Triggered This Attention?
The Act, signed November 19, 2025, responds to 2024 unseals and public calls. Oversight’s 95,000-image subpoena revealed artifacts like “Lolita” inscriptions, pressuring DOJ.
Why Does It Matter?
