The Justice Department has announced that lawmakers will be permitted to review unredacted versions of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. To access these files, members of Congress must provide the department with 24 hours’ advance notice.
This decision aims to facilitate congressional oversight while maintaining procedural controls over sensitive information. The files contain details from investigations into Epstein’s activities and associated cases.
**Why this matters**
Providing lawmakers with access to unredacted documents allows for more thorough examination of the Epstein case and related investigations. This transparency can support legislative efforts and oversight responsibilities concerning criminal justice and potential systemic issues revealed in the files.
