The Justice Department's release of Jeffrey Epstein files on Friday did not comply with the law that Congress passed last month mandating their disclosure, according to Rep. Ro Khanna. The California Democrat and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., led the effort on the legislation, which required that the DOJ put out its entire trove of documents by today.

Khanna blasted the document dump and singled out one file from a New York grand jury where all 119 pages were blacked out. This despite a federal judge ordering them to release that document, Khanna said in a video posted on X. "There's not a single explanation," Khanna stated. "That entire document was redacted. We have not seen the draft indictment that implicates other rich and powerful men who were on Epstein's rape island who either watched the abuse of young girls or participated in the abuse of young girls in the sex trafficking."

Khanna also criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi, saying she has been "obfuscating" for months. He described the files released on Friday as an "incomplete release with too many redactions." The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The legislation passed by Congress last month required the DOJ to release all documents related to Epstein's case, including any redactions, with explanations. The law was enacted in response to growing public concern about the handling of Epstein's case and the potential involvement of high-profile individuals.

In a separate X post, Massie expressed similar concerns about the document release. "The American people deserve to know the truth about the Epstein case, and we will continue to push for transparency and accountability," Massie stated.

The release of the Epstein files has been a contentious issue, with many lawmakers and advocacy groups pushing for greater transparency. The case has raised questions about the handling of high-profile cases and the potential involvement of powerful individuals.

As the controversy surrounding the document release continues, lawmakers are taking steps to address the issue. Rep. Khanna announced that he and other lawmakers are working on drafting articles of impeachment against Attorney General Pam Bondi. The move is seen as a response to the perceived failure to comply with the law and the lack of transparency in the document release.

The situation remains fluid, with lawmakers and the Justice Department continuing to engage in a back-and-forth over the release of the Epstein files. As the situation develops, it is expected that lawmakers will continue to push for greater transparency and accountability in the handling of high-profile cases.
