"Driving the news: Hundreds of employees have reviewed the millions of materials to minimize the risk of victim-identifying information, Attorney General Pam Bondi, deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton said in a Tuesday filing. The review includes audio and video files in addition to millions of pages of documents."
"U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer on Jan. 21 denied a request from Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) to appoint an independent monitor to ensure the DOJ's compliance with the act, but he recognized their "legitimate concerns about whether DOJ is faithfully complying with federal law." Context: As of early this month, the DOJ said it had reviewed less than 1% of all records potentially related to the case."
Hundreds of employees have reviewed millions of materials to minimize the risk of victim-identifying information. The review is tied to the Epstein Files Transparency Act deadline of Dec. 19. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer denied a request for an independent monitor while acknowledging "legitimate concerns about whether DOJ is faithfully complying with federal law." As of early January, the DOJ had reviewed less than 1% of all records potentially related to the case. Polling shows 69% of U.S. adults believe the government is covering up Epstein-related evidence and 61% disapprove of Trump's handling of investigations. Congressional subpoenas and contempt votes have heightened oversight, and the DOJ will update its Epstein Library with additional documents.
