Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released the following statement after new reporting revealed that classified material related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation was collected by the Department of Justice, but tens of thousands of documents, including Epstein’s financial records, were missing from the public release of the files. These missing files raise significant concerns about transparency and whether this is part of the Trump Administration’s ongoing cover-up of the Epstein files.
“Let’s be clear: Todd Blanche and the Department of Justice continue to aid the White House in their cover-up of the Epstein investigation. New reporting has revealed thousands of missing classified documents from the release of the Epstein files, including Epstein’s own financial records. Under the law, material can only be classified for national security purposes. What are these ‘classified’ documents the DOJ is hiding? We need answers immediately,” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia.
