The Justice Department released files about Jeffrey Epstein, but the release has sparked significant controversy. Fifteen images, including a photo showing Epstein with notable figures, were removed from the website. The department admitted the release is incomplete, missing hundreds of thousands of pages.
Nearly 700 pages were entirely redacted. The files contain photos of various celebrities, though the DOJ states no third parties warrant investigation.
Democratic lawmakers, including Senator Dick Durbin and Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, have criticized the incomplete release as potentially violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. They are demanding full transparency about Epstein's connections.
