STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Hundreds of members of Congress can view the unredacted Epstein files at the Department of Justice — but only four special computers are available.
Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin confirmed that congressional members “must enter without bringing any electronic devices, or staff members who have been researching the issue alongside them,” according to the Guardian.
Raskin was only able to see roughly 30 to 40 unredacted documents in the time he had access to one of the special computers.
His conclusion was this: “…I was able to determine, at least I believe, that there were tons of completely unnecessary redactions, in addition to the failure to redact the names of victims, and so that was troubling to us… I saw the names of lots of people, who were redacted for mysterious or baffling or inscrutable reasons.”
The congressman added that another three million files still need to be published by the DOJ — meaning that a little more than half of the files have been released altogether thus far.
The DOJ was supposed to release the Epstein files in their entirety on Dec. 19, 2025, at the order of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
The latest drop came out Jan. 30, 2026. The DOJ claimed that that release was the final cohort of documents.
“We’re going to start by posing questions directly to attorney general Bondi about the process that produced such flawed results, and that has created such mystery,” Raskin said.
