Epstein Files Audit Launched

Inspector General Michael Horowitz initiated the audit following widespread complaints from lawmakers about redaction errors and missed deadlines.

The investigation aims to determine how the DOJ collected and reviewed documents associated with the convicted sex offender before their release.

This move comes as the Trump administration faces renewed scrutiny over its transparency regarding Epstein's high-profile associates.

Some House Republicans have even floated the possibility of a presidential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell to encourage her cooperation with their ongoing probe.
