Department of Justice Violates Epstein Files Law By Failing to Inform Congress of Reasons Behind Redactions
A source familiar with the release of the Epstein files confirms that the United States Congress has yet to receive a required explanation from the United States Department of Justice regarding redactions made to the Epstein file productions.
This omission represents yet another apparent violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a statute enacted to ensure public accountability, congressional oversight, and transparency surrounding one of the most consequential criminal investigations in recent history.
Under the law, the Department of Justice was required to formally explain and justify any redactions made to the released Epstein-related materials. That deadline was January 3, a statutory date clearly outlined prescribed by the Act. As of now, no such explanation has been delivered to Congress.
The failure to meet a clear legal requirement—particularly one designed to prevent secrecy—raises serious questions about compliance, intent, and accountability within the Justice Department.
