The recent partial release of documents associated with the late Jeffrey Epstein has ignited a new wave of controversy in the US. Lawmakers and public figures are criticizing the Justice Department for not providing information that should be available by law.
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pointed out that the newly released files only represent a small fraction of the complete Epstein records.
“Even with everything in this Epstein drop, remember: this is a minority of the files. This is still just what they were willing to release – in violation of the law, which requires release of all files. Pam Bondi’s DOJ is still hiding most of them. We need them all,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X, referencing the US attorney general.
Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia, who serves on the House Oversight Committee, also criticized the limited disclosure as “outrageous and incredibly concerning.”
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie claimed he faced political backlash after the document release.
“Within hours of the Epstein file release, a super PAC funded by Israel-first billionaires Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson, who himself appears in Epstein’s black book, bought another $800,000 of TV ads against me. I’ll still win, but if I lose, it was worth it,” said Massie.
