'Highly abnormal': CNN legal expert flags 'huge loophole' in Epstein law Trump signed

Honig discussed the loopholes on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."

"All of this is highly abnormal," Honig said. "In a regular case, DOJ would never just open up its files like this."

"One really important thing I want people to understand, though, is that there's a huge loophole in the law itself that President Trump just signed and that says that DOJ does not have to make public any materials relating to ongoing criminal investigations," he continued.

"And what that means is it's going to be up to Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, and Kash Patel," he added. "If they want to say, 'Well, that relates to some ongoing investigation,' it will be redacted or it will be left out, and we will not see that."
