Justice Department Watchdog Reviews Epstein File Release Compliance
The Justice Department’s internal watchdog is launching a review of the department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, focusing on the collection, redaction, and release processes. This audit will examine how the department complied with the law mandating the disclosure of these sensitive documents, particularly in light of complaints from Epstein survivors about improperly disclosed personal information. The review comes amid accusations that the department’s staggered and uneven release of millions of records, including errors that exposed victims’ details, was an attempt to protect President Trump, who had past ties to Epstein.
