- Following last month's release, the DOJ said it is reviewing whether Epstein‑related records were improperly withheld and will publish responsive documents, amid flawed redactions exposing victims' information.
- The FBI interviewed the woman four times recently, but only one summary was released, as journalists documented gaps in the files.
- Congressional Democrats signaled an inquiry after reporting that Rep. Robert Garcia, top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said Democrats will investigate withheld records while the Justice Department defended withholding to protect victims, avoid duplicates, preserve privilege, or safeguard investigations.
