US congressmen ask judge to appoint official to force release of all Epstein files
AI Summary
US Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have requested a federal judge to appoint a special master to ensure the Justice Department releases all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, citing non-compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The representatives allege the DOJ missed the December 19th deadline and has not provided required reports to the House and Senate judiciary committees detailing redactions. They claim the DOJ has only released less than 1% of the files and question the department's figures regarding the total number of documents under review. Khanna and Massie believe an independent monitor is needed to oversee the document production and identify any improper redactions or conduct. They argue the DOJ cannot be trusted to make the mandatory disclosures required by the Act.
