The Republican-led House Oversight Committee slammed the Trump administration on Tuesday for botching the public release of millions of pages of records relating to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In a report scrutinizing the government's handling of criminal investigations of Epstein and his longtime confidant Ghislaine Maxwell, the committee faulted President Donald Trump and the Justice Department for reneging on a promise to open the files, which led Congress to pass a law forcing their release.
After Congress stepped in, the administration missed disclosure deadlines and concealed names of alleged co-conspirators while failing to adequately protect victims, "including through deficient redactions that exposed their sensitive information," the report said.
