Department of Justice Oversight

The Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General has begun a formal audit of the department's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, focusing on redactions, removed documents and other release decisions. The New York Times reported the review has officially started.

Senate Democrats are challenging the Department of Justice over delayed Freedom of Information Act records in a probe into alleged bribery involving Tom Homan. They say the Department of Justice has resisted and slowed responses to Freedom of Information Act requests tied to the Homan bribery probe. The push came recently on Capitol Hill as Democrats sought records that could show whether bribery allegations against Homan are backed by evidence. They say delays hinder oversight and public accountability, and they are demanding faster releases to assess any official misconduct.
