DOJ Promises Epsteins Files Soon, After Less Than 1% Peeked Since Dec 19

KEY POINTS

•The DOJ announced on January 23 that it will release Epstein-related files 'in the near term' after reviewing less than 1% of millions of documents since the December 19 deadline.
•Hundreds of DOJ employees led by Attorney General Pam Bondi are redacting victim-identifying info from the files including audio and video materials.
•Congressional subpoenas are pressing Epstein associates including Les Wexner, Darren Indyke, and Richard Kahn, while a judge denied calls for independent monitors despite concerns about DOJ’s compliance.

The Justice Department is still fumbling over Jeffrey Epstein's files, claiming that after snowstorm-level delays past the Dec. 19 deadline, they've managed to review less than 1% of millions of documents, audio, and video tapes. Led by Attorney General Pam Bondi (who apparently moonlights as a redactor) and deputies Todd Blanche and Jay Clayton, hundreds of employees are grinding through papers to shield victim identities, which means if you expected swift justice, keep sipping your tea. Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Epstein’s mysterious inner circle including billionaire Les Wexner, lawyer Darren Indyke, and accountant Richard Kahn—because nothing says urgent like a subpoena flood Friday. Judge Paul Engelmayer denied a request for an independent watchdog despite admitting legitimate worries about the DOJ's compliance, proving that faith in the system is still hanging by a thread. Meanwhile, 69% of U.S. adults believe the government is straight-up hiding stuff, and 61% disapprove of Trump’s handling of the Epstein saga—a perfect recipe for a justice sandwich that’s still very much frozen.

The DOJ’s idea of ‘transparency’ means leisurely sipping coffee while staring blankly at a mountain of Epstein files. Less than 1% reviewed since December. We’ve seen faster load times on dial-up internet.
