DOJ Rebuts Project Veritas Video as Push to Unseal Epstein Files Intensifies

The Justice Department says the ex-official in the footage lacked access to the investigation, leaving the new allegations uncorroborated.

Overview

  • Hidden-camera video from James O’Keefe shows former DOJ worker Glenn Prager alleging Epstein was a CIA informant and claiming assaults occurred on flights when Bill Clinton was present but not when President Trump was involved.
  • The DOJ said Prager was a program analyst more than 15 years ago with no access to case facts and warned his statements should not be considered accurate.
  • News reports note that thousands of pages already released and prior DOJ–FBI reviews provide no official evidence tying Epstein to the CIA or confirming the flight allegations involving Clinton.
  • Rep. Thomas Massie promoted the video and says he has the votes to force action on releasing remaining records as House efforts, subpoenas, and FOIA suits continue.
  • Separate reporting describes White House turbulence over the issue, with the Wall Street Journal recounting Trump’s private complaints that people misread his 1990s Palm Beach ties and his ongoing fight with the Journal over a reported birthday letter to Epstein.
