- On March 6, the Justice Department released additional Epstein documents it said were incorrectly coded as duplicates, including notes referencing an uncorroborated allegation against President Trump.
- The department has acknowledged taking 47,635 files offline for further review and has faced criticism for both overbroad redactions and errors that exposed victims’ identities.
- Chair James Comer said Bondi offered small‑group briefings at DOJ, a proposal rejected by members who insisted on a transcribed, under‑oath deposition.
- No date has been set for Bondi’s appearance as lawmakers continue to question whether DOJ has fully met the requirements of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
