Despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act becoming law last year, millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein remain withheld by the Trump administration, but a new effort from a bipartisan congressional duo could be a "game-changer" in forcing their full release, one legal expert said Monday. The Justice Department released millions of Epstein-related files last year following the passage of the EFTA, but withheld millions and redacted many of them beyond what was permitted by law , critics have argued. “If passed, [the successor to the EFTA] will be a gamechanger for individuals who want to investigate further or learn more about Epstein or individuals associated with them.” Were Massie and Khanna’s new bill to become law, it would force the DOJ to cooperate with state-led probes into Epstein’s activity, such as in New Mexico. The bill would also bar the DOJ from citing privilege exemptions – deliberative-process, attorney-client, and work-product privilege among them – as grounds to withhold Epstein-related files, a tactic the department has repeatedly employed .
