00:02A bipartisan group of senators asked the Government Accountability Office to investigate
00:06the Department of Justice's release and redaction of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
00:11Lawmakers said the DOJ failed to comply with a law requiring the release of Epstein files
00:16while protecting victims.
00:18They wrote that some released records included victims' email addresses and nude photos,
00:23while information identifying alleged co-conspirators or material witnesses was heavily redacted.
00:28Trump signed the Epstein files Transparency Act in November requiring full document release
00:34by December 19th.

00:40remain unreleased.
