Leader Schumer Statement On The Trump Administration Releasing A Fraction Of The Epstein Files

Washington, D.C. -Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement after the Department of Justice released only parts of the Epstein files:

"The law Congress passed calls for the complete release of the Epstein files so that there can be full transparency. This set of heavily redacted documents released by the Department of Justice today is just a fraction of the whole body of evidence.

"Simply releasing a mountain of blacked out pages violates the spirit of transparency and the letter of the law. For example, all 119 pages of one document were completely blacked out. We need answers as to why.

"Senate Democrats are working to assess the documents that have been released to determine what actions must be taken to hold the Trump administration accountable. We will pursue every option to make sure the truth comes out."
