Democrats accuse DoJ of not releasing millions of Epstein files despite legal requirement

AI Summary

medium article 4 min

Democrats, survivors, and watchdog groups are accusing the Justice Department, under the Trump administration, of failing to fully comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Despite releasing 3 million pages of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, including videos and images, the DoJ claims this marks the end of their compliance efforts. Democratic Representative Robert Garcia alleges the DoJ is withholding roughly 50% of the files, breaking the law. Survivors also criticize the release for exposing victims' identities while protecting powerful figures implicated in the abuse. The House oversight committee is demanding the release of all files and plans a thorough review, indicating the investigation is ongoing.
