The Justice Department’s webpage for documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is missing at least 16 of its files a day after they were released.

Text SIGN PVALBR to 50409 — When the Trump administration promised compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the American people were told to expect sunlight. Instead, the Department of Justice delivered darkness by design. The DOJ’s release was not a good-faith effort to comply with the law. It was a calculated act of obstruction that violated a clear statute, defied congressional authority, and inflicted renewed harm on survivors of one of the most notorious child sex trafficking operations in modern history. The Act is not ambiguous. It requires the DOJ to release all unclassified Epstein-related records in its possession by a fixed deadline, in a searchable format. Not phases. Not partial dumps. Not excessive redactions. Yet the DOJ labeled its production a “first phase,” a concept Congress never authorized and the law does not allow. What followed confirmed bad faith. Entire documents were blacked out. Court-ordered grand jury materials were rendered unreadable. Long-public filings were recycled to pad page counts. The searchable database required by law did not function. These failures were not technical. They were intentional. Even more disturbing, the DOJ admitted it applied victim-level protections to “politically exposed persons” and wealthy individuals connected to Epstein—shielding the powerful under the guise of privacy. Congress explicitly rejected that rationale when it passed this law. The selective nature of the release made the motive unmistakable. Certain figures were highlighted while references to others—particularly those connected to Donald Trump—were aggressively obscured. Survivors deserved truth, not narrative management. This is no longer merely a transparency dispute. It is a constitutional crisis of enforcement. Attorney General Pam Bondi and other DOJ officials knowingly ignored statutory deadlines, withheld required records, and defied court orders. That conduct meets the threshold for contempt of Congress, obstruction, and impeachable offenses. The Constitution does not permit executive officials to nullify laws they dislike. Congress must act immediately by: • Issuing subpoenas for all Epstein-related records, including draft indictments and withheld investigative materials • Initiating contempt proceedings against DOJ officials who defied the Act • Opening impeachment inquiries into Attorney General Bondi and any officials responsible for noncompliance • Referring potential criminal obstruction to appropriate authorities This law exists because institutional failure once protected a predator. Allowing its violation would repeat that failure. Survivors deserved accountability on the deadline Congress set. Justice delayed is justice denied—and continued silence is not an option. Congress must now enforce its own law.

“The problems don’t go away when the reporting goes away,” says the Corporate Toxics Information Project’s co-director.
