Will the US government release additional Epstein documents in 2025?

"We are unlikely to ever see the [Epstein] files."

"They are not gonna release it."

"The GOP will never ever release the Epstein files voluntarily."

"They decided they don't want it released."

"Trump's administration will NOT release the Epstein client list."

"It's a new administration, and everything's going to come out to the public."

"Yeah, yeah, I would [release Epstein files]."

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday sent Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress case back to a lower court, vacating an appeals court ruling that had upheld his 2022 conviction for defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

Bannon served a four-month sentence at a low-security federal facility in Connecticut in 2024. The potential dismissal is considered largely symbolic, as he has already completed his prison term.

The Trump administration's Justice Department filed a motion to dismiss Bannon's indictment in February, stating it had "determined in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice."

Bannon's legal team argued he did not willfully defy the subpoena, contending he relied on attorneys' advice to withhold compliance while courts resolved Trump's executive privilege claims. A federal appeals court ruled in 2024 that such advice-of-counsel reasoning was "no defense at all."

Bannon's attorney Michael Buschbacher said in a statement that the Supreme Court's order was "a welcome correction," adding that "this case should never have been brought." The dismissal would not affect Bannon's separate New York state guilty plea for defrauding donors to a private border wall fundraising effort.

The Supreme Court issued a similar order in the case of former Cincinnati council member Alexander Sittenfeld, who was convicted on federal bribery and extortion charges and sentenced to 16 months in prison, sending that case back to the 6th Circuit following a government motion to dismiss.
