Democrats threaten legal action after DOJ says it won't meet Friday deadline for all Epstein files
DOJ attorneys prioritized review to meet the deadline but may withhold victim details and sensitive information, following a law passed amid pressure over Epstein's 2019 death.
- Democrats threaten legal action as the US Department of Justice expects to release 'several hundred thousand pages' related to the Epstein investigation initially, with more to follow in the coming weeks.
- Lawmakers say they have been sifting through 20,000 documents and 95,000 photos from Epstein's estate, some featuring high-profile figures, but maintain appearing in the photos does not indicate wrongdoing.
- Congressperson Robert Garcia said most of the documents arrived without context, and they have been working to redact potential victims, as the DOJ is legally obligated to make all Epstein files public by midnight Friday under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
