The DOJ Has Released Less than 1% of the Epstein Files
Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act on November 19th, giving the Justice Department 30 days to make all records pertaining to the notorious sex criminal’s prosecution “publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format."
November 19th was 49 days ago, meaning the files should be public by now. It’s the law. But they’re not.
The DOJ this week admitted to still concealing millions of Epstein documents, fessing up that it has only released “less than 1 percent” of the required files.
“More than 2 million documents … remain in various phases of review and redaction,” the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York confessed in a letter on Monday. This means “less than 1 percent of the [legally required] total” is publicly available.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Congress passed the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act in 1992, mandating the government to publicize all records related to President Kennedy’s murder within 25 years. But it hasn’t happened. Somehow, some way, permanent Washington always keeps hold of its secrets.
