Overview
- Roughly 12,285 documents totaling about 125,575 pages have been posted, with millions of pages still outstanding according to recent court filings.
- The Justice Department moved to block an independent monitor or special master, arguing the court lacks authority to order such relief and that Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna lack standing.
- In a letter to the inspector general, survivors and relatives alleged selective redactions that obscured alleged facilitators while leaving identifying details of survivors visible.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi told Judge Paul Engelmayer that more than 500 reviewers are working on manual redactions and that 80 additional attorneys were added, yet no timeline was offered for further releases.
- Political pressure has ebbed as several Republicans who once pushed the legislation now defend the pace or show little interest in forcing compliance, even as Massie and Khanna continue to press the issue.
