DOJ ordered to release unredacted Epstein files or explain why it can't
A federal judge ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to release additional unredacted Jeffrey Epstein records or explain by July 2 why it cannot. Media legal analyst Katie Phang alleges the DOJ violated the Epstein Act by withholding materials, including emails and documents mentioning President Trump. The DOJ claims Phang should have used a FOIA request, but her lawyers argue such requests were denied.
