I am writing to demand that the Justice Department immediately comply with the law and release all remaining Epstein files without further delay or obfuscation. An NPR investigation recently revealed that 53 pages were missing from the public database, and even after the Justice Department published 16 additional pages this week, 37 pages remain withheld from the public. These missing records include interview notes, law enforcement reports, and license records that the American people have a right to see. The Justice Department's repeated claims that withheld documents are "privileged, are duplicates or relate to an ongoing federal investigation" ring hollow when their own admission suggests records were "mistakenly tagged as duplicates." This pattern of incomplete disclosure undermines public trust and suggests the department is selectively releasing information rather than providing full transparency as required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The House Oversight Committee, with bipartisan support from both Democrats and Republicans, has demanded answers about these missing files and voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi. When members from both parties agree that the Justice Department's handling of this release is unacceptable, that should signal the severity of this problem. The more than 1,000 pages published to the database include serious allegations involving powerful individuals, and the public deserves access to the complete record, not a sanitized version curated by department officials. The victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell deserve full accountability, and that cannot happen when federal agencies play games with document releases. I urge you to use your oversight authority to ensure the Justice Department releases every remaining page of the Epstein files immediately. The law requires transparency, and constituents like me expect you to hold federal agencies accountable when they fail to comply. No more excuses, no more delays, no more missing pages.
