Overview
- On the House floor, Rep. Dan Goldman displayed an unredacted October 2009 email in which Trump attorney Alan Garten is quoted saying Jeffrey Epstein was "never asked to leave" Mar-a-Lago.
- The email, written by Epstein lawyer Jack Goldberger, summarized a call that referenced a victims’ attorney and noted a Mar-a-Lago manager confirmed Epstein was not expelled.
- The document had been released to the public with key lines redacted, and Goldman accused the Justice Department of withholding information in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
- Goldman said DOJ has disclosed about 3.5 million of roughly 6 million identified records, and House Republicans have subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify on April 14.
- Reporting on the files notes interviews still withheld, including a batch with a victim alleging Trump abused her as a minor, while the White House denies wrongdoing and maintains Trump expelled Epstein.
