The Justice Department’s inspector general has launched a formal review into how the agency handled the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, following widespread bipartisan criticism over the process. The review will focus on whether the department actually complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which required the release of all related records within a set deadline—a deadline the DOJ missed. Investigators will examine how officials identified, collected, and ultimately decided what to release, as well as how they handled redactions and withheld materials.


The move comes amid mounting controversy over how the files were rolled out, including concerns that sensitive information was mishandled and that key material may still be missing or overly redacted. The inspector general will also look into how the DOJ responded to issues that emerged after the release, including public backlash and privacy concerns tied to victims. The findings will eventually be made public, but the review itself signals that even internally, there are serious questions about whether the Epstein files release was handled properly or transparently.
