Lawmakers find 6 more suspected accomplices in Jeffrey Epstein files

WASHINGTON – Two House members who led the effort to force the Justice Department to release more documents about accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein said they discovered at least six more suspected accomplices.

The department began allowing lawmakers Feb. 9 to review millions of records that remain confidential. Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, and Ro Khanna, D-California, said they found additional suspects among names that had remained blacked out in publicly released records.

“What we want is the men who Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women to – we want those names published,” Massie told reporters. “In two hours, we found six men whose names have been redacted who are implicated in the way that the files are presented.”

The revelations are part of the latest conflict between Congress and the DOJ over the release of millions of documents about Epstein that remain confidential. Upcoming congressional hearings and depositions will focus on what has remained secret for years.

The only recourse is to go groveling back to the same DoJ who redacted them and say "pretty please"?

That seems like a rather unhelpful arrangement.
