Lawfare Daily: The Epstein Files and the Politicization of the Justice Department
Senior Editor Anna Bower speaks with Lawfare Public Service Fellow Michael Feinberg and Senior Editor Eric Columbus about the extraordinary actions taken by the Justice Department and Congress in response to calls for the release of investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein. The discussion covers the DOJ’s unusual “review” of the Epstein files, Congress’s oversight role, proposed legislation aimed at compelling the release of these materials, and the department’s newly announced probe into prominent Democrats with alleged ties to Epstein.
