On Friday, the Trump Department of Justice released only some of the Epstein files it was legally required to release. Fortune described the document dump as having “landed with a thud as page after page of documents have been blacked out, with many nearly totally redacted.”
Rep. Robert Garcia, the Democratic ranking member of the House Oversight Committee is big mad.
“Oh, there will definitely be a response” to the DOJ shenanigans, Garcia told MS NOW. He said that Democrats “have been planning and waiting for this moment for a long time.” Teams are currently reviewing the documents and “absolutely actively working on a response,” he added.
Outside organizations and groups are doing the same thing, Garcia said.
“So, there is no scenario where we’re going to allow [Attorney General] Pam Bondi, the DOJ and Donald Trump to continue this cover up,” he said. “They are defying the Congress right now. and I would hope that Mike Johnson, who is supposed to be leading the entire body, would actually say something and back us up for once and demand transparency and justice for the survivors.”
Don’t hold your breath on that score.
