U.S. House Committee Criticizes Trump Over Epstein Records Release

The U.S. House Oversight Committee criticized the Trump administration for mishandling the release of records related to Jeffrey Epstein. A report highlighted failures in the Justice Department's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law to ensure public access to these documents. The 137-page report pointed out that the administration missed deadlines and inadequately protected victims' identities, exposing sensitive information. It also noted that federal authorities had previously failed to charge Epstein despite multiple allegations from underage girls. This scrutiny raises questions about accountability and transparency in handling high-profile cases. The committee's findings may prompt further investigations into the Justice Department's actions during the Trump administration.
