Overview
- The Justice Department reposted a small set of Epstein records, including three FBI 2019 interview summaries in which an unidentified woman alleged Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to President Donald Trump when she was a minor.
- Officials said 15 documents were mistakenly coded as duplicates and added back to the public library, and prosecutors cleared five previously privileged memos for release, bringing the new total to 20 documents.
- The department emphasized the allegations are uncorroborated and reiterated prior warnings that the archive contains untrue or sensational submissions; authorities have not accused Trump of wrongdoing, and the White House called the claims baseless.
- Separately, 47,635 files were taken offline for additional redaction and review with the DOJ saying they will be reproduced, and it will allow Members of Congress to review unredacted duplicative files in the Congressional Reading Room.
- House Oversight voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the releases, as reporters note that other items listed in evidence catalogs remain unavailable on the DOJ website.
