House Democrat: DOJ ‘Absolutely’ Violated Law with Limited Epstein Files Release

The Justice Department released about 10% of Epstein files with heavy redactions, prompting bipartisan calls for full disclosure and potential legal action over withheld documents.

  • This past Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice released a partial, heavily redacted batch of Jeffrey Epstein files and added more batches overnight on Saturday, including photos of former President Bill Clinton.
  • The Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed last month, required disclosure by Friday, and DOJ and White House officials said redactions complied with law to protect victims, citing the redacted 'masseuse list'.
  • Oversight Democrats and CNN highlighted the narrow scope and heavy redactions, noting about 10% of DOJ holdings were disclosed, with 5% released and 5% highly redacted.
  • House Democrats warned of legal action and possible contempt or impeachment, with Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie drafting articles against Attorney General Pam Bondi as Rep. Robert Garcia called the release unlawful.
  • White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson insisted that the release was transparent, while Blanche told Fox News that "several hundred thousand" more files would be released in the coming weeks.
