Trump Blasts DOJ Release of 1 Million More Epstein Files – Democracy Now!

President Trump has complained about the Justice Department’s release of 1 million more files related to the late serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. On Truth Social, Trump said in part, “Now 1,000,000 more pages on Epstein are found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat inspired Hoax. When do they say NO MORE, and work on Election Fraud etc.” Meanwhile, Republican Congressmember Thomas Massie, a co-sponsor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, is criticizing the DOJ’s release of the Epstein files, writing on social media, “Attorney General Pam Bondi’s most egregious violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act is not that she ignores the deadline. It’s that she’s redacting names of accused sex offenders and internal communications about decisions, wrongly citing old rules that are overridden by new law.” This comes as Julie Brown, a journalist at the Miami Herald, whose reporting led to the arrests of Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, said on social media, “Does somebody at the DOJ want to tell me why my American Airlines booking information and flights in July 2019 are part of the Epstein files (attached to a grand jury subpoena)? As the flight itinerary includes my maiden name (and I did book this flight) why was the DOJ monitoring me?”
