Joe Scarborough Rails at Trump Admin Delay' on Epstein Files: Who Are They Protecting?'
"So, a month ago Congress passed a law that said, almost unanimously, that said that the DOJ and the Trump administration had to release all of the Epstein files every one of them to stop, if people in MAGA world are right, to stop the protection of rich, powerful sex offenders, he began. But the Trump administration will not do it. The DOJ will not do it."
"Justice Department lawyers said in a court filing in Manhattan on January 5 that they had uploaded over 12,000 records to the department's website in compliance with the legislation, but officials had identified more than two million additional documents potentially covered by the law, many of which remain at various stages of review. After lambasting Trump's Greenland ambitions as a distraction from the files earlier in the show, Scarborough slammed what he viewed as inaction to comply with the Epstein law."
Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough criticized the Trump administration and the Justice Department for repeatedly delaying release of Jeffrey Epstein-related records required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The law set a December 19 deadline for full public disclosure, but DOJ lawyers said they had uploaded over 12,000 records while identifying more than two million additional documents potentially covered by the statute. Many of those documents remain under various stages of manual review, and released files contained heavy redactions that obscured critical names and details. Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski questioned whom the administration might be protecting and cited binders of redacted material and Pam Bondi's claimed possession of an Epstein file list.
