Lawmakers say the DOJ is withholding over 3 million Epstein files and want victims, state attorneys general and Congress to sue for release.
- A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers is demanding additional federal disclosure of records related to Epstein, pushing the Epstein Files Transparency Act II to authorize lawsuits against the DOJ for withholding documents.
- Representative Thomas Massie stated that since the Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed November 19, 2025, the DOJ has "flagrantly and consistently ignored EFTA's disclosure requirements," missing deadlines and making incorrect redactions.

- After billionaire Leon Black refused to answer questions regarding nondisclosure agreements and abuse accusations, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed him to appear on Sept. 3 under oath.
- Despite releasing over 3 million Epstein files, the committee has made zero criminal referrals as of July 24, while a DOJ Office of the Inspector General audit continues investigating departmental compliance.
