- Clinton spokesperson Angel Ureña urged DOJ to publish all remaining materials that reference or contain photos of the former president, warning that selective disclosures risk insinuation.
- DOJ said it released hundreds of thousands of records on Dec. 19 and acknowledged that hundreds of thousands more remain under review, with additional releases expected within weeks.
- A group of 18 survivors criticized the rollout as a partial, heavily redacted dump that hindered their cases and backed congressional oversight, as Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie pressed for internal memos and threatened contempt.
- DOJ temporarily removed 16 images from the public archive and later restored at least one photo, saying the takedowns were out of caution to protect potential victims; the removed items included nude art and photos from Epstein’s properties.
- Critics highlighted blanked grand jury minutes and the absence of financial records, while the statute requires DOJ to explain withheld categories and list withheld documents within 15 days.
