Following the legislation to release the Epstein files passing through Congress, Trump has announced that he's now given the bill his signature. Jimmy Kimmel remains skeptical, though.

In the video above, the host questions whether or not the Epstein files that get released will be the full, unredacted version — or whether parts will be held back or omitted.

"We don't know whether the Department of Justice will actually release all the files or if they'll be tied up in investigations, specifically investigations Trump orders to keep them tied up in investigations — and that is where things will get interesting," Kimmel says. "Will we have the original documents or will Trump gonna pull a Taylor Swift and give us the Epstein files, Donnie's version?"
