DOJ Inspector General announces audit of department's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act

The Department of Justice Office of Inspector General announced Thursday it will review the DOJ's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed in November, which mandated release of all unclassified Epstein-related records within 30 days. The audit will focus on the DOJ's processes for identifying, redacting, and releasing records. Critics from both parties have alleged the DOJ failed to fully comply with the law, including through heavy redactions.
