tl;drSUMMARY ACROSS OUTLETS

Pam Bondi told Congress the Justice Department had released all records required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Lawmakers, including Rep. Thomas Massie, challenged the completeness of the release and its redactions.

Center outlets pair Bondi’s account with lawmakers’ objections, including Massie’s criticism of her hearing answers and the department’s redactions. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Massie’s allegation that DOJ is still withholding records, while giving less attention to the department’s rebuttal.
