Key House Democrats are demanding the Department of Justice cease tracking lawmakers' review of unredacted files related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to a letter sent Friday to Attorney General Pam Bondi. The request comes amid growing concerns about the DOJ's handling of the sensitive documents.
Reps. Jamie Raskin, Pramila Jayapal, and Robert Garcia, in their letter, urged the Justice Department to "develop a new protocol" that would allow members to "meaningfully" review the "fully unredacted documents," as reported by ABC News. Jayapal, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, has accused Bondi of "spying" on her search history during a recent visit to the DOJ.
