US Justice Department releases Epstein files; Trump responds

The United States Department of Justice has started releasing some files on Jeffrey Epstein, but the full publication is expected to be delayed. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that more documents will be released in the coming weeks to protect the privacy of Epstein’s victims. The release has sparked criticism from Congress for not meeting the 30-day deadline set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Frustrations were also expressed over heavy redactions and limited search results on the Justice Department website. Members of Congress are exploring options to ensure compliance with the law, including holding individuals accountable. Both Democrats and Republicans have voiced dissatisfaction with the partial release of the Epstein files.
