Trump Demands DOJ Name Democrats in Epstein Files as Review Grows by One Million Records

The Justice Department says the newly found trove requires weeks of victim‑protective review, a pace that has triggered bipartisan criticism over missed deadlines and heavy redactions.

Overview

  • The DOJ said on Dec. 24 that the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office and the FBI identified roughly one million additional Epstein‑related documents now undergoing expedited review.
  • Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, hundreds of thousands of pages have already been posted since Dec. 19, with many pages heavily redacted and officials cautioning that further releases will take a few more weeks.
  • President Trump on Friday called the disclosures a “Democrat inspired Hoax,” urged the department to release any Democrats’ names to “embarrass them,” and questioned the time spent on the effort.
  • A group of 12 senators asked the acting DOJ inspector general to probe missed deadlines and redaction practices, while Rep. Thomas Massie accused the department of illegal redactions and Rep. Ro Khanna pledged continued pressure.
  • Released materials reference Trump and former President Bill Clinton without alleging criminal conduct, as the White House defended Attorney General Pam Bondi’s team and critics like Sen. Chuck Schumer alleged a coverup.
