The Justice Department’s internal watchdog said Thursday it would review the rollout of the Epstein files after lawmakers accused officials of improperly redacting information about victims and missing deadlines to release materials associated with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The DOJ’s Office of Inspector General said it was auditing the department’s compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the legislation passed last year that mandated the release of documents, photos and videos collected during the government’s investigation into Epstein.
