Chuck Schumer says he's introducing resolution to force DOJ into full release of Epstein files

Less than 10,000 pages of documents from the Epstein files have been released so far, according to an NBC News count.

Pressure on the Justice Department grew louder Monday after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he would be introducing a resolution directing the Senate to “initiate legal action against the DOJ" for releasing only some of its records related to Jeffrey Epstein and a spokesperson for Bill Clinton called on the administration to release all of its material involving the former president.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News on Friday that he expected the department would release "several hundred thousand documents today.” But only 9,675 pages of documents have been released since then, according to an NBC News count.

“The law Congress passed is crystal clear: release the Epstein files in full so Americans can see the truth,” Schumer wrote Monday on X. “Instead, the Trump Department of Justice dumped redactions and withheld the evidence — that breaks the law."

Schumer will force consideration of the measure in January when the Senate reconvenes. The Senate returns from recess on Monday, Jan. 5.

The White House referred a request for comment to the Justice Department, which did not immediately respond.
