Overview
- Justice Department officials said roughly one million additional pages arrived from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York, with FBI agents set to review them before release under the transparency law.
- The agency missed the Dec. 19 statutory deadline and noted that lawyers are conducting redactions to protect victims, with more releases expected on a rolling basis.
- An initial tranche was posted on Dec. 19, followed by about 30,000 more pages, though access has been marked by heavy redactions and technical reposting.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the pace and messaging of the rollout, calling for full compliance with the law and immediate disclosure.
- Rep. Eric Swalwell urged hearings and floated options such as funding restrictions and inherent contempt to compel compliance, as legal commentators report few major revelations so far beyond references to at least ten potential co‑conspirators in 2019-era materials.
