Democrats, however, remain determined to press the justice department over the Epstein documents despite other stories such as the capture by US forces of Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, dominating the news cycle.

“What are they trying to hide?” Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, said in a post to X on Monday accusing the justice department of failing to submit a required unredacted list to Congress “of all government officials and politically exposed persons” named or referenced in the files.

“It’s been 17 DAYS since the Trump DOJ first broke the law and failed to release all the Epstein files. It’s been 14 DAYS since Trump’s DOJ released anything at all – with the DOJ doing everything in its power to delay and obfuscate.”

The releases so far, he said, were heavily redacted, and contained “none of the key documents, and no new information on the 10 alleged Epstein co-conspirators”.

Hoping more Dems than Chuck are on this to keep it in the headlines and cut through all the distractions.

2. Stop the delay. Release the files without redactions. nt

3. I think it's past time that they start putting some of these government officials in jail for contempt.

They are actually clearly trying to stall and delay a releasing these files despite the court order to do so.

4. This beyond the "court order" stage

Congress passed, and trump signed, and actual law that required the full release by 12/21. They openly broke that very law. But, I guess we can rest knowing that Pammy will get right on it, amirite?
