Congress to Review Unredacted Jeffrey Epstein Records Next Week
Under the arrangement, members of Congress will be permitted to examine the records at the Justice Department starting Monday. The review will be conducted in person, and lawmakers must notify the department at least 24 hours in advance. They will not be given the original files, according to details outlined in a letter circulated to lawmakers.
While reviewing the material, lawmakers may take written notes but will not be allowed to bring electronic devices into the viewing area.
Access will be limited to unredacted versions of roughly 3 million documents that authorities have already made public. This collection represents only about half of the total number of files the Justice Department has acknowledged holding related to the case.
Reacting to the development, Rep. Ro Khanna emphasized congressional oversight, saying, "When Congress pushes back, Congress can prevail."
He added that he and Rep. Thomas Massie had formally pressed for access to the full records, stating, "@RepThomasMassie & I have always believed that Congress must not be a doormat. Not when it comes to the Epstein files. Not when it comes to stopping dumb wars," he added.
