KEY POINTS
- â˘US legislators accused the Justice Department of violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act by withholding files.
- â˘FBI Director Kash Patel, part of the Trump administration, praised a Wisconsin judgeâs conviction for helping a migrant avoid arrest.
- â˘Epstein files faced months of delays under former Trump officials, with the promised release timeline slipping repeatedly as of December 2025.
In a dazzling display of bureaucratic dodgeball just before Christmas 2025, US lawmakers lambasted the Justice Department for ignoring the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which demands full public releases of all Epstein-related files.

The Epstein files suffered delayed unraveling thanks to officials from the Trump era sulking in the background, making the months-long wait feel like watching paint dry on a mystery thriller set in Washington, D.C. â where plot twists are replaced by subpoenas.
