The Justice Department must release more records from its files by Dec. 19 under a law passed by Congress in November.
Pam Bondi explains Justice Department’s plans to release Epstein files and open new investigation
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Justice Department would release the Epstein files within 30 days of President Donald Trump signing the transparency bill.
WASHINGTON – House Democrats on Dec. 3 released more photos from the investigation into disgraced financier and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, while continuing to press the Justice Department to release files as requested by Congress.
One photo appears to show a dentist’s chair in a room with masks on the walls. Another photo shows a phone with a list of speed dials that appear to be phone numbers for people named Darren, Rich, Mike, and Larry.
Democrats on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee called the revelations “unseen-before photos and videos from Jeffrey Epstein’s private island that reveal the horrors behind Epstein’s closed doors.”
The documents are from a civil lawsuit involving JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. But Democrats continue to press the Justice Department to release documents from the criminal investigation, as Congress required in a bill with a Dec. 19 deadline.
“We will continue to release documents and files as we receive them,” California Rep. Robert Garcia, the committee’s top Democrat, said on social media. “The survivors deserve justice and the truth. We need the Department of Justice to release all files now.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi said she would follow the law.
