The Justice Department will let members of Congress view unredacted copies of the more than 3 million documents related to Jeffrey Epstein that have been publicly released, according to a letter obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: Democrats have argued that the DOJ is skirting its statutory requirements under the Epstein Transparency Act by withholding millions of documents and heavily redacting some of the files they did release.
- House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) sent a letter to the DOJ last week requesting a review of the “complete unredacted Epstein files.”
- “We seek to ensure that your redactions comply with the Act’s requirement that materials be withheld only in narrow circumstances, such as protecting victims’ personally identifiable information, and not on the basis of “embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary,'” Raskin wrote.
