A bipartisan group of lawmakers say the DOJ has gone too far with its redactions, and the limited release itself is an outright violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Trump reluctantly signed into law after it passed Congress almost unanimously.
The law directed the DOJ to release all files by December 19, 2025 – and Pam Bondi has clearly broken the law by deliberately not doing so.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) told reporters that he and Rep. Tom Massie (R-KY) would “explore all options” to ensure the DOJ complies with the law, with impeachment hearings a possibility “if it gets to that.”
“We could hold them in inherent contempt of Congress. Again, if it gets to that,” Khanna said. “We could refer Justice Department Officials for criminal prosecution, if it looks like they have engaged in excessive redaction or tampering, and we can support lawsuits to abide by the law.”
The congressman added: “All options are on the table, but, the other thing we’re thinking of doing, and having been in touch with survivors and survivors’ lawyers, is to bring the survivors back to Capitol Hill, to demand compliance with the law.”
Even right-wing Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said: “The whole point was NOT to protect the ‘politically exposed individuals and government officials.’ That’s exactly what MAGA has always wanted, that’s what drain the swamp actually means. It means expose them all, the rich powerful elites who are corrupt and commit crimes, NOT redact their names and protect them.”
