Ministry of JusticeThe company, which has been criticized for hiding files about Jeffrey Epstein from the public, plans to publish a new file. stack of documents MS Now on Thursday published a story about the notorious sex offender “pretty soon,” quoting a person familiar with the matter.

The development comes a day after the House Oversight Committee approved a motion to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi for questioning about her handling of the Justice Department’s investigations into Epstein and documents related to him that are required by law to be made public.

“AG Bondi claims the DOJ released all the Epstein files. The record is clear: they did not,” Rep. Nancy Mace, R.S.C., said in a post on X when she introduced the motion on Thursday. “The Epstein case is one of the greatest cover-ups in American history.”

“The Epstein case is one of the largest cover-ups in American history. His global sex trafficking network is broader than what has been revealed,” Mace said. “Three million documents have been released, and we still don’t have the full truth. The videos are missing. The audio is missing. The logs are missing. There are millions more documents out there. We want to know why the Department of Justice is more focused on protecting the powerful than on delivering justice.

“I have more questions and I don’t expect to talk about the stock market, so he better not bring those notes when he comes to the Oversight Committee,” Mace told reporters on Thursday in a scathing statement about Bondi.

The comment was a reference to Bondi angrily telling members of the House Judiciary Committee last month that they should be talking about a strong stock market when Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-FY., asked her how many of Epstein’s associates she had implicated. Bondi has not accused anyone in connection with Epstein.

The Justice Department said in a new statement Thursday that “mistakes are inevitable” in a project the size of investigating millions of documents to determine what the law should release about Epstein and his convicted procurer Ghislaine Maxwell.

“When flagged by the public, we work to promptly correct any mistakes the team may have made initially,” the Justice Department said.

“As with all publicly flagged documents, if anything is found to be improperly labeled during the review process and not in compliance with the Act, the Department will of course publish it.”
