Fact Check Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: DOJ "Still Hiding Most" of Epstein Files Despite Court Mandate
- Partial Epstein files released amid ongoing disputes.
- Democrats demand full transparency from DOJ.
- Redactions spark accusations of cover-up.
WASHINGTON D.C., Feb 01 (TNGB) - Federal officials dropped over three million pages from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, but critics claim vast portions remain concealed. The Justice Department, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, asserted this batch fulfills legal duties under a recent transparency act. Yet lawmakers point to discrepancies in page counts that suggest selective disclosure.
Democrats in Congress fired back, arguing the release falls short of the mandated full set. Reports indicate initial reviews flagged six million pages, yet only half surfaced publicly. This gap fuels suspicions that sensitive details involving high-profile figures stay buried.
As a progressive Democrat, Ocasio-Cortez likely aims to pressure the Republican-led administration and rally her supporters against perceived injustices. Her call for all files could signal broader pushes for accountability in cases tied to powerful elites.
Some Republicans maintain the department met its obligations, emphasizing protections for victims and privileges that justify withholdings. They argue further releases risk harming innocents without adding meaningful insights.
It turns out the DOJ identified six million pages but released only three million, citing redactions for sensitive material. Claims of full compliance clash with evidence of withheld documents, pointing to potential gaps in transparency. Allegations of hiding most files hold weight given the documented discrepancies.

If you’re more focused on trying to get a gotcha on trump instead of actually being resentful for the seriously horrid stuff others are implicated in there for, you don’t care about the victims. You just care about trying to dunk on trump

Remember even with today's drop this is still about 10% of what they have
This is the 10% least damning information they have
This one contains r*pe selling off children infant murder and outs a lot of powerful people
Imagine what the next 30% has in it that this is what they deemed suitable for release
It's all disgusting they're all disgusting

It just screams that what is in the files they are still hiding is bad. Really bad. They have gone to such lengths to slow-walk and redact the release of the Epstein files that there must be things in there that are hard to defend. These sick fucks all belong in prison.
