US lawmakers advocating for judicial transparency have publicly criticized the initial release of Epstein-related documents as incomplete and insufficient. This group, which has been actively pushing for the declassification of all remaining files linked to Jeffrey Epstein and associated individuals, argues that the extent of disclosure remains inadequate, potentially hampering investigations and public awareness. Their concerns highlight ongoing debates about transparency in high-profile legal cases and the balance between privacy, safety, and public interest. The critique points to the need for further releases of documents to ensure accountability and comprehensive understanding of the case. Despite some files being made accessible, the lawmakers and survivors emphasize that the released materials do not fully address questions surrounding Epstein’s network and activities, fostering skepticism about the transparency process.
