US Justice Department handling of Epstein file release sparks backlash

The DOJ's phased release of nearly 30,000 Epstein documents faces bipartisan criticism for delays, redactions, and potential shielding of powerful figures, with lawmakers threatening contempt actions.

  • The Justice Department released over 29,000 new documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, including a handwritten letter from Epstein to Larry Nassar referencing Donald Trump.
  • The Justice Department stated that the release included 'untrue and sensationalist claims' against Trump, asserting these claims were unfounded and false.
  • An email indicated Trump was a passenger on Epstein's plane eight times between 1993 and 1996, with no accusations of wrongdoing against him.
  • Critics described the release as heavily redacted, offering limited new information on Epstein's activities and expressing frustration over the handling of the files.
