South Carolina Republican House Rep. Nancy Mace says the Department of Justice (DOJ) is tracking lawmakers’ activities as they review unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files. Meanwhile, Washington State House Democrat Pramila Jayapal also says her viewing activity was surveilled in a moment of bipartisan unity.
Mace told reporters she personally identified tracking mechanisms embedded in the system used to grant members of Congress access to review the documents. Mace said, “I’m pretty tech savvy. I played around with the system. They’re tracking every file that we open. And when we open it, they’re tracking everything.” She added that the tracking was visible “if you know where to look,” but declined to divulge specifics to avoid tipping off the DOJ to conceal the practice.
