012126 Tell Congress: Enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act

Congress passed a law. President Trump signed it. The deadline was December 19, 2025.

But one month later, Trump's Department of Justice has released less than 1% of Jeffrey Epstein's investigative files—and continues to defy the law.

The DOJ released 12,285 documents out of more than 2 million identified files. They missed the statutory deadline. They withheld the required report explaining what's being kept secret and why. And they're applying redactions to protect "politically exposed persons"—exactly what the Act explicitly prohibits.

For Epstein's survivors, this is institutional betrayal. These files contain evidence of how the justice system failed children. Every day of continued secrecy shields the powerful from accountability.

Representatives Ro Khanna (D) and Thomas Massie (R), who co-sponsored the law, are demanding action. They've asked the federal court to appoint a special master—an independent monitor who can compel full disclosure and report on DOJ misconduct.

The law already exists. What's missing is enforcement.
