DOJ to drop more Epstein files Monday as furor grows: lawmaker

The Justice Department is preparing to publish another trove of files related to Jeffrey Epstein Monday afternoon, according to Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), who shared the news on social media Monday morning.

“We hear there will be another DOJ Epstein release this afternoon,” Khanna wrote in a social media post on X Monday.

The DOJ was hammered over the weekend for failing to comply with the newly enacted Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bill sponsored by Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) that required the DOJ to release all of its files on Epstein by Friday, and with limited redactions. Instead, the DOJ released only a fraction of its files on Epstein in its possession, and redacted files beyond what the law permitted.

Ahead of the DOJ’s Monday release of more files on Epstein, Khanna laid out four inclusions he wants to see in the release.

“The FBI witness interviews which names other men; the Epstein emails seized from his computer; the 60-count draft indictment; [and] the 82-page prosecution memo,” Khanna wrote. “The DOJ must stop protecting rich & powerful men who were not charged or those who sabotaged the prosecution.”
