US EditionHarris defends Biden administration decision not to release Jeffrey Epstein files
Harris said Biden’s team upheld independence by not influencing the Justice Department on Epstein files amid a congressional law mandating release within 30 days.
- In a televised interview on Dec. 17, Harris defended the Biden administration's decision not to release Jeffrey Epstein files, stating 'We absolutely adhered to that and it was right to do that.'
- Faced with political pressure, the team prioritized DOJ independence, refusing to use personal or political interests to influence the Department of Justice, officials said.
- With overwhelming margins in both chambers, lawmakers forced disclosure by passing the Epstein Files Transparency Act that cleared the House 427-1 and won unanimous Senate approval before President Donald Trump signed it on Nov. 19.
- The files reportedly include material involving President Donald Trump, who denies wrongdoing and says his relationship with Epstein ended around 2,004, while Harris said she doubted DOJ compliance and commended Republican members of Congress.
- Legal limits allow agencies to redact classified material or victim-identifying information, and the archive subjects: presidents, celebrities and foreign elites have driven strong public interest.
