The Hill - The Department of Justice (DOJ) said it will begin allowing lawmakers to review the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files starting Monday in the wake of criticism that the administration has improperly shielded the identities of various people. “I am writing to confirm that the department is making unredacted versions of the more than 3 million pages of publicly released documents available for review by both houses of Congress starting Monday,” Assistant Attorney General Patrick Davis wrote in a letter to all 535 members that was obtained by The Hill.
Lawmakers will be able to review the files in a reading room at the Department of Justice. While they are not permitted to bring electronic devices, they may take notes.
The alert came after several members of Congress said they had questions about whether the DOJ had fully complied with a law requiring public release of the files.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche held a press conference to announce the release of a final tranche of documents, with the DOJ ultimately posting 3 million pages.
