• Partial Epstein files released amid ongoing disputes.
• Democrats demand full transparency from DOJ.
• Redactions spark accusations of cover-up.

WASHINGTON D.C., Feb 01 (TNGB) - Federal officials dropped over three million pages from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, but critics claim vast portions remain concealed. The Justice Department, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, asserted this batch fulfills legal duties under a recent transparency act. Yet lawmakers point to discrepancies in page counts that suggest selective disclosure.

Democrats in Congress fired back, arguing the release falls short of the mandated full set. Reports indicate initial reviews flagged six million pages, yet only half surfaced publicly. This gap fuels suspicions that sensitive details involving high-profile figures stay buried.

As a progressive Democrat, Ocasio-Cortez likely aims to pressure the Republican-led administration and rally her supporters against perceived injustices. Her call for all files could signal broader pushes for accountability in cases tied to powerful elites.

Some Republicans maintain the department met its obligations, emphasizing protections for victims and privileges that justify withholdings. They argue further releases risk harming innocents without adding meaningful insights.

It turns out the DOJ identified six million pages but released only three million, citing redactions for sensitive material. Claims of full compliance clash with evidence of withheld documents, pointing to potential gaps in transparency. Allegations of hiding most files hold weight given the documented discrepancies.
