I am asking you to demand real accountability from the Department of Justice on the Epstein files — not a declaration that the matter is closed. On January 30, 2026, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the release of more than three million pages of Epstein-related documents, including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, while telling the public the department’s review “is over” and that no additional evidence exists to prosecute anyone else. Yet only weeks later, on February 9-10, Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie reviewed unredacted versions of these same records and forced the DOJ to un-redact names it had previously withheld — undercutting the claim that nothing more remained to find. By July 2026, a federal judge ruled that Blanche himself conceded the department was in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act for withholding names and documents without the legal justification the law requires. Out of an estimated six million total pages in DOJ possession, lawmakers say barely half have ever reached the public. This is not a partisan complaint. Democrats and Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee have both pressed the department for answers, and Attorney General Pam Bondi was removed from her post in April amid bipartisan criticism of how the files were handled. I think about how many survivors were told their abusers would face consequences, only to watch the government call the case finished while their statements sit unreleased. When wealth and power can make an investigation “over” on someone’s say-so, it tells every one of us that accountability is optional for the right people. I am asking you to: • Demand the DOJ’s full, court-ordered compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, including release of the withheld witness interview (“302”) files. • Call for public hearings requiring DOJ leadership to testify under oath about why the review was declared closed while documents remained unreleased. • Support independent oversight or a special counsel to review whether prosecutable evidence was dismissed prematurely. Justice isn’t “over” just because the department says so. Thank you for standing up for the accountability the survivors and the public still deserve.
