URGENT UPDATE: Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling for immediate action from the Department of Justice (DOJ) after the agency confirmed it will not meet the December 19, 2023 deadline for the full release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Greene criticized the partial release, insisting the government must adhere to the law.
As part of the recently signed Epstein Files Transparency Act by former President Donald Trump, the DOJ is mandated to disclose all unclassified documents pertaining to Epstein. Greene took to social media platform X, stating, “My goodness, what is in the Epstein files? Release all the files. It’s literally the law.”
Democrats on the House Oversight and Judiciary committees are also reacting strongly. Representatives Robert Garcia and Jamie Raskin accused the Trump administration of violating federal law, asserting they are exploring all legal options following the DOJ’s partial release of documents.
“The survivors of this nightmare deserve justice, the co-conspirators must be held accountable, and the American people deserve complete transparency from DOJ,” Garcia and Raskin declared.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer added that not releasing the complete files by the deadline constitutes a violation of the law, stressing the urgency of the situation. “This just shows the Department of Justice, Donald Trump, and Pam Bondi are hellbent on hiding the truth,” he stated.
Concerns about transparency have intensified as Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that the DOJ anticipates releasing “several hundred thousand pages” of documents in the coming weeks. Blanche emphasized the department’s commitment to protecting the identities and stories of victims while ensuring compliance with legal requirements.
“There are a lot of eyes looking at these documents, so we want to ensure that when we produce them, we are protecting every single victim,” Blanche said during an interview on Fox & Friends.
The political ramifications of failing to meet the transparency requirements could be significant for the Trump administration. As scrutiny mounts, Democrats warn they will not rest until the complete truth regarding Epstein’s extensive sex trafficking operations is unveiled.
