Members of Congress will be able to view unredacted Epstein files next week

Starting Monday, Congress members can access over 3 million unredacted Epstein documents on DOJ computers under strict conditions, following bipartisan legislative efforts.

  • On Feb. 9, the Department of Justice will allow members of Congress to review unredacted Epstein files covering more than 3 million pages, the DOJ said in a letter first reported by NBC News.
  • After Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November, the law required release of internal DOJ records and drew bipartisan pressure from Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif.
  • To review the material, lawmakers must use government computers in the DOJ reading room, give at least 24 hours' notice, take notes but cannot bring electronic devices, and congressional staff are barred.
  • Victims' advocates and lawmakers argue the Justice Department faced criticism over redactions and failures to protect victims' information while Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche acknowledged errors and efforts to correct them.
  • Despite the access, DOJ officials say the department is withholding approximately 2.5 million pages and more than 6 million pages total are in DOJ possession; members want to review material before Attorney General Pam Bondi appears next Wednesday.
