Epstein file review yields 6 new 'likely incriminated' men, lawmakers say

SUMMARY

The Justice Department has redacted the names of at least six men connected to the Epstein case, according to Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna after reviewing unredacted documents. They want to give the DOJ time to release more information but may disclose names on the House floor, where they would have immunity.

One individual named is said to be "pretty high up" in a foreign government. Lawmakers noted that many documents remain redacted and criticized the DOJ for not fully complying with the Epstein Transparency Act. The DOJ intends to make these documents available for Congressional review in a secure setting. Assistant Attorney General Patrick Davis expressed confidence in the department's efforts to manage the document volume.
