House Judiciary Committee Seeks Full Epstein Files Amid Cover-Up Allegations
Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee are requesting immediate access to the complete Jeffrey Epstein case files, citing an “urgent” need due to a forthcoming hearing. The committee’s inquiry, addressed to Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, questions the Justice Department’s release of only half of the estimated files, including substantial redactions. This request follows similar demands from other members of Congress, seeking to fulfill oversight responsibilities and ensure transparency. The lawmakers aim to ensure redactions comply with legal requirements, questioning whether the Trump administration is withholding documents without proper justification, despite the Justice Department’s defense of its actions.
