Senate Democrats seek to force release of Jeffrey Epstein files with rarely used “Rule of Five” law

Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, are invoking a nearly century-old law to compel the Justice Department to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, citing the need for transparency after a controversial internal review found no evidence of a “client list.” Schumer criticized Republicans for their evasiveness regarding the files and expects the DOJ to respond by August 15, while ensuring victim privacy is protected.
