DOJ to release more Epstein files by end of year
Digest more
One of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims has blasted the Justice Department after the agency accidentally identified her in the trove of documents released over the weekend. Attorney Aaron Parnas said the Justice Department failed to properly redact the name of the woman while continuing to delay the release of all investigative files required by law.
The DOJ's Jeffrey Epstein files website crashed during its release, prompting complaints about technical glitches and heavy redactions. AG Pam Bondi's department defended its work.
It’s kind of disappointing to see that our own Department of Justice is trying to continue to gaslight us,” said the brother of one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent accusers.
Trump earlier this year criticized supporters who pushed for the release of files tied to Epstein, but later signed the law requiring their release. Thousands of pages of Epstein-related files have been released, but the format does not appear to be functioning in line with what's required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

The DOJ has vowed to prosecute people accused of assaulting federal officers during protests of Trump’s immigration policies. But an AP review shows they have struggled to deliver on that commitment.
Democrats said that the delay violates the law, which required the DOJ to release "all unclassified records" with limited exceptions, including to protect the victims.
Democrats warned they’re "examining all legal options" to hold the administration accountable to Friday's deadline to the release of all DOJ files on Jeffrey Epstein.
