Carolin Kebekus and the Pains of Women - New U.S. law forces release of Jeffrey Epstein documents within 30 days
This week sees major political and legal developments across the globe. In the U.S., a new law demands the release of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, while Germany grapples with a controversial trial and a comedian's push to highlight menstrual pain. Meanwhile, international diplomacy takes centre stage with an EU donor conference for Palestinians.
On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a law requiring federal agencies to disclose documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The materials must be made public within 30 days. However, the Department of Justice can still redact or withhold information to protect victims' identities or avoid interfering with active investigations.
The coming days will see legal, political, and social discussions unfold. The Epstein documents could reveal new details, while the Berlin trial and EU conference will shape international responses. In Germany, Kebekus' advocacy and Merz's remarks continue to provoke public debate.
