"people who feel very strongly about this will feel like they've been duped if Attorney General Pam Bondi claims we can't release anything because we have an active investigation. I don't think that that will help calm the suspicions many have harbored for a long while on this. I think it's not only congressional intent, it's overwhelming. When was the last time you saw a vote like that in the House?"
"You can adjust for whatever investigations are going on, but if you do a blanket hold, I think that they're going to have a lot of people angry, Tillis told Bolton, adding: I think they would do well to figure how to release as much as possible and then have a very well-articulated reason for that which they can't. It would add fuel to the fire if they don't produce something meaningful."
Senate Republicans expressed concern that the Justice Department may not fully release the Epstein files despite a bill passed by both chambers and signed into law. President Trump signed the bill and urged reopening of the probe, and Attorney General Pam Bondi said newly uncovered information has prompted a DOJ investigation that could delay full release. Several senators, including Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, and John Kennedy, warned that blanket holds would fuel public suspicion and anger. Senators urged releasing as much material as possible and providing clear, specific reasons for any redactions or delays.
