The Justice Department has stated that a judge does not have the authority to appoint a neutral expert to oversee the public release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. This response was given in a letter to Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, rejecting a request from Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, who co-sponsored the Epstein Files Transparency Act, citing concerns about the slow release of documents and potential criminal violations in the process. The Justice Department maintains that the representatives lack standing in the case to seek such relief, specifically because they are not parties to the criminal case. The Department expects to update the court soon about the progress of the release, attributing the slow down to the redactions of sensitive information.
