DOJ Opens Unredacted Epstein Files to Lawmakers as Clintons Press for Public Testimony

Starting Monday, members can review the full records on DOJ computers under tight restrictions, highlighting a broader fight over transparency, privacy protections, and misinformation.

Overview

  • Access begins Monday on DOJ terminals for members only with no phones or copying, initial priority to Judiciary leaders, and staff excluded as millions of previously redacted pages become reviewable in full.
  • Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to appear but are urging the House Oversight Committee to hold on‑camera hearings, with Bill Clinton calling closed‑door depositions a 'kangaroo court.'
  • Attorneys for survivors say thousands of documents initially failed to shield victims’ identities, and at least 7,000 items have been flagged for further privacy review even as the DOJ says its broader review has concluded.
  • The released trove references numerous prominent figures, but officials and analysts caution that many entries are unverified investigatory notes and that being named does not indicate criminal conduct.
  • A viral photo claiming Jeffrey Epstein is alive has been flagged as AI‑generated, President Trump has voiced sympathy for Bill Clinton, and European fallout has included resignations and probes that outpace consequences seen in the U.S.
