Appoint a special master to oversee the Epstein files

To: Sen. Cruz, Rep. Van Duyne, Sen. Cornyn

From: A constituent in Dallas, TX

January 10

I am writing to urge your support for the appointment of a special master or independent monitor to ensure Department of Justice compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Congress passed the law. The DOJ has missed key deadlines and provided only heavily redacted materials, violating the law and court orders. The DOJ's conduct raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability. Despite claiming to review more than a million additional documents, the department has produced only approximately 12,285 documents totaling 125,575 pages, with more than 2 million documents still pending review. Some unconfirmed reports suggest the DOJ may be reviewing more than 5 million pages. The attorney general has also failed to submit a report within 15 days of the deadline—as required by law—identifying categories of records released and withheld, summarizing all redactions and their legal bases. No such report has been provided. This failure has caused serious trauma to survivors who deserve transparency and justice. My wife and I urge you to publicly demand a special master and hold the DOJ accountable to the law—now and after they are out of office. Epstein sex-traffic survivors and the American public deserve the transparency Congress mandated.
