Justice Department faces deadline to release files on Epstein sex trafficking investigation
- On Friday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department would not release all Epstein files by the statutory deadline, missing the 30-day window after President Donald Trump signed the law in November.
- Public outrage over gaps in prior probes led survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and U.S. Congress to pass the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act despite Trump and GOP opposition.
- The DOJ plans rolling publication of several hundred thousand documents, Blanche said, with redactions allowed to protect victims of Jeffrey Epstein, classified materials, and ongoing federal investigations.
- Lawmakers warned they would pursue oversight and legal remedies after the DOJ's partial release, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accusing the White House of breaking the law and lawmakers exploring legal options to hold the administration accountable.
- House Oversight Democrats released 68 photos from a 95,000-image trove before the December 18, 2025, deadline, with Ankush Khardori cautioning about manipulation, warning `If material pertaining to Trump is not produced early, there is reason to believe that the Trump administration is engaged in a cover-up.
