Are all Epstein files released?

Asked 19 hours ago

Answer

Not all Epstein files are released. While Congress mandated the release of unclassified materials and the Justice Department is expected to comply, concerns remain about delays, redactions, and withholding of documents tied to ongoing investigations. The law prohibits withholding information for political reasons, but some files may be delayed or partially redacted to protect victims or ongoing cases. Full public disclosure is still pending, with deadlines and transparency under scrutiny.
