Overview

• Nine attorneys representing roughly 50 survivors told the Guardian they have received no recent contact from the Justice Department or most members of Congress.
• Gloria Allred, Lisa Bloom and Spencer Kuvin reported no outreach to interview their clients, with Kuvin saying his offer to brief House leadership went unanswered.
• The House Oversight Committee issued subpoenas, met with some victims, and released DOJ-supplied documents that contained virtually no new information.
• DOJ materials made public since February — including a tranche touted by Attorney General Pamela Bondi and Aug. 22 transcripts of Deputy AG Todd Blanche’s interview with Ghislaine Maxwell — were criticized as superficial, as Maxwell was subsequently moved to a low-security prison camp.
• Survivors’ lawyers also cited transparency hurdles, from a FOIA reply projected for November 2027 to DOJ efforts to dismiss civil suits including a case by Merson Law representing 33 women.
