Justice Department’s Epstein Files Release: Hurry Up But Also Not Really

KEY POINTS

•Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News that several hundred thousand Epstein-related documents will be released by Friday with privacy redactions still underway.
•Ranking Democrats Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia accused the DOJ of violating federal law for missing the deadline set by Congress last month.
•Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer warned of serious consequences if the DOJ fails to comply, while Republican Rep. Thomas Massie emphasized the legal mandate isn't a mere subpoena.

In a saga that makes slow-cooked Thanksgiving turkey look like fast food, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche prepared to flex his stamina on Fox News by announcing the DOJ’s plan to release 'several hundred thousand' Epstein files on Friday—assuming privacy redactions don’t fry the whole batch. Meanwhile, Democrats Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia fired off a stern 'Hey, play nice or else' note, accusing the DOJ of 'violating federal law' for missing a deadline Congress penciled in just last month. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer hinted at karmic justice, warning of 'serious legal and political consequences.' Meanwhile, Moody Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie reminded everyone, this isn't a subpoena—it’s a law. So yeah, buckle up. The drip-feed justice saga continues.
