DOJ Misses Epstein Files Deadline; Khanna and Massie Threaten Contempt Against AG Bondi

The Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed by Trump, required DOJ to release all Jeffrey Epstein documents by December 19, 2025. DOJ released only a partial set, violating the statute. Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie — a bipartisan pair — threatened inherent contempt proceedings against AG Pam Bondi that could impose $5,000-per-day fines. Deputy AG Todd Blanche said the full files would be released in "a few more weeks" while attorneys redacted victim information.
