Rep. Thomas Massie asked his social media followers which Jeffrey Epstein, related documents he should review as members of Congress prepare to examine unredacted files held by the Justice Department.
Lawmakers are set to begin reviewing roughly three million Epstein-related documents in a DOJ reading room, where they can take notes but are barred from using electronic recording devices. In a post on X, Massie wrote, “Tomorrow I will go to DOJ to view the unredacted Epstein files.
Which docs should I view? Include EFTA link in reply,” adding that he would prioritize responses with the most engagement.
Massie has pushed for deeper scrutiny of the files and for transparency around redactions. He and Rep. Ro Khanna sought a meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to press the department on why names were blacked out in earlier releases.
The bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act requires that redactions be accompanied by written justifications submitted to Congress and published in the Federal Register.
Khanna shared an example of a redacted email from 2014, saying it raised questions about what information remains hidden.
DOJ officials have defended their approach, saying the releases do not conceal a list of known abusers and that any prosecutable evidence would be pursued. Blanche said the review may not satisfy public expectations, adding that investigators would act if new evidence of crimes emerges.
