Lawmakers Criticize DOJ Over Epstein Files Release
In a letter sent to Congress on Saturday, Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy Todd Blanche said the department released all relevant materials in its possession, including a list of individuals whose names appear in the files. The letter affirmed that no records were withheld for reasons of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity.
Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie, a co-author of the law, criticized the release as insufficient, calling for the DoJ to also make internal memos public that detail past decisions regarding potential charges against Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.
According to the letter, the individuals listed include current or former government officials and politically exposed persons whose names appear at least once in the files. The documents reflect a range of contexts, from people who had direct email contact with Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell to those mentioned indirectly in reports or media articles.
The release follows millions of new Epstein-related files made public earlier this month, but lawmakers continue to press for fuller transparency regarding investigative decisions and internal deliberations.
