Overview
- Trump’s Truth Social message blasted the latest disclosures, called them a hoax, and demanded the release of Democrats’ names tied to Epstein.
- The Justice Department said prosecutors in New York located over one million additional documents and transferred them for review with victim-protective redactions.
- Officials signaled further releases could take weeks, and the department has already missed the law’s deadline for making records public.
- A bipartisan group of senators requested an inspector general review of the delays, while Rep. Thomas Massie alleged illegal redactions and Rep. Ro Khanna vowed continued pressure.
- The White House defended DOJ’s handling, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused the administration of a coverup, as Trump also referenced election-fraud claims that reporters have described as false.
