"As the leads of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, we have urgent and grave concerns about DOJ's failure to comply with the Act as well as the Department's violations of this Court's order, the duo wrote to Judge Paul E. Engelmayer. Put simply, the DOJ cannot be trusted with making mandatory disclosures under the Act, they argued, adding: While we believe that criminal violations have taken place and must be addressed,"
"In its November 26, 2025, letter (Dkt.813), the DOJ represented to this Court the categories of documents in its possession, much of which has not been produced. Thus, in our capacity as amici curiae, we suggest pursuant to its inherent authority and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 53, this Court appoint Special Master and/or Independent Monitor for the purpose of ensuring all the documents and electronically stored information are immediately made public to be in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act."
Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie requested that a federal judge appoint a special master or independent monitor to compel the immediate public release of all Epstein Files and electronically stored information required by law. The Epstein Files Transparency Act set a hard deadline that the DOJ met only by releasing 12,285 documents, while claiming it needed more time to process and redact about two million remaining files. The request alleges DOJ violations of the Act and a court order, asserts the DOJ cannot be trusted with mandatory disclosures, and asks the court to grant monitor authority to assess production, report, and compel testimony.
