US EditionIndependent Epstein Files ‘Special Master’ Could Be Named Next Week—And May Speed Up Release
Bipartisan lawmakers urge court oversight after DOJ missed Epstein file release deadline and disclosed less than 1% of documents, citing possible criminal violations.
- On Monday, Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie asked U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer to appoint an independent special master to oversee DOJ's Epstein-file releases and interpret the statute.
- The Department of Justice was legally required to release the files by December 19, 2025, but has published less than 1%, with only 12,285 documents released amid a 2 million backlog.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the releases prompted criticism that the DOJ altered metadata to hide Trump's name, while survivors accused the DOJ of withholding documents and failing to redact identities.
- The judge ordered the filing made public and permitted consideration of an amicus-style brief, while setting a deadline for the Department of Justice to respond by Friday.
