Overview
- Hillary Clinton urged Chairman James Comer to put her and Bill Clinton's appearances on camera, though the panel has set closed, recorded depositions for Feb. 26–27 with video and transcripts to be released.
- The Justice Department says it has fulfilled the transparency law with a final posting of roughly 3 million pages plus 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, while lawmakers and victims’ advocates argue releases were late, over‑redacted and exposed some identities.
- A Senate bid led by Chuck Schumer to authorize litigation against the administration over alleged noncompliance failed when Republicans objected, as Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche maintains the disclosures are complete and yielded no new prosecutable cases.
- Recently released death‑scene and autopsy photos and a document labeled EFTA00133623 referencing a 4Chan comment have revived online speculation, but the DOJ and medical examiners continue to state Epstein died by suicide with no evidence of a switch or survival.
- Pressure is mounting to question people named in the files, with Rep. Ro Khanna calling for those who emailed Epstein to testify and Republicans seeking potential subpoenas, including a request to call Bill Gates for questioning.
