Top Oversight Democrat: DOJ plan to release Epstein files in 'batches' a 'cover-up'

(The Hill) House Oversight and Government Reform Committee ranking member Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) said the plan for the Department of Justice to respond in “batches” to the committee’s subpoena for files relating to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein amounts to a “cover-up.”

“Releasing the Epstein files in batches just continues this White House cover-up,” Garcia said in a statement Tuesday. “The American People will not accept anything short of the full, unredacted Epstein files.”

Garcia’s statement came as the clock struck noon Tuesday, the deadline for the Department of Justice to turn over documents and communications relating to the “Epstein files” pursuant to an Oversight panel subpoena issued earlier this month.
