US Congress to review uncensored Epstein documents next week

WASHINGTON - Members of the United States Congress (US) will be allowed to review millions of pages of uncensored government documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein next week.

According to reports, lawmakers can access the material at the Department of Justice starting Monday. However, they will not have access to the original documents. NBC News reported this by citing a letter to members of Congress that they obtained.

Members of Congress can only review the file in person on the condition of giving the Department of Justice 24 hours' notice beforehand. They are allowed to take notes, but are prohibited from bringing electronic devices.

As reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, the legislators can only review the uncensored copy of about three million documents that had previously been published by the Department of Justice. This number is about half of all the files that are acknowledged to be in the possession of the institution.

"When Congress fights back, Congress can win," said Representative Ro Khanna, who along with fellow Representative Thomas Massie signed a letter to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on Friday demanding access to unredacted documents.

"@RepThomasMassie and I have always believed Congress should not be a cesspool. Not on the Epstein files. Not on trying to stop a senseless war," he said.
