President Donald Trump broke the record for the longest State of the Union address in modern history on Feb. 24
The president spoke for about 1 hour and 47 minutes without mentioning one of the biggest political scandals of the moment: the Epstein files
Some Democratic lawmakers attended the event wearing pins that read, 'Stand With Survivors: Release the Files'
...............The release of the full Epstein files was compelled by Congress, which passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November 2025. However, files were released in a slow trickle, with some pages heavily redacted of identifying information. ...............
