Rep. Thomas Massie Says DOJ Missed Deadlines, Not Following Law on Epstein Files

Representative Thomas Massie said the U.S. Department of Justice is not complying with the law in its handling of records related to Jeffrey Epstein. Massie said the department missed a 30-day deadline to release material to the public and a 15-day deadline to provide information to Congress. He added that the issue is not the volume of records withheld, but specific documents that he believes name individuals and are being improperly withheld or over-redacted. The DOJ has not publicly responded to Massie’s specific allegations. The dispute adds to ongoing tensions between Congress and the Justice Department over transparency and oversight.
