Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif, said the Department of Justice’s latest release of records related to its investigation of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein “is not good enough.”
“If we don’t get the remaining files… then Thomas Massie and I are prepared to move on impeachment or contempt,” Khanna said Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment.
In an interview on Sunday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department has released more than 3 million documents related to its investigation into Epstein.
“This review is over,” Blanche said on ABC’s “This Week.” “We have nothing to hide, we never did.”
Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., have previously blasted the DOJ for failing to meet a December deadline to release all of the Epstein case files.
In a statement on Friday, Khanna said the DOJ identified over 6 million records but is releasing only about 3.5 million after review and redactions.
On Sunday, the congressional Democrat said that Friday’s Epstein disclosure was “significant,” however, it is still only about half of the files that have been collected.
“But even those shocked the conscience of this country,” Khanna said Sunday.
“I mean, you have some of the most wealthy individuals, tech leaders, finance leaders, politicians, all implicated in some way,” he said.
“It’s frankly one of the largest scandals, in my view, in our country’s history,” Khanna said Sunday. “There’s a demand for elite accountability.”
On Friday, a group of Epstein victims in a statement slammed the DOJ for the “incomplete” release of the files.
“This latest release of Jeffrey Epstein files is being sold as transparency, but what it actually does is expose survivors,” said the group in a statement obtained by MS Now.
“Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous. As survivors, we should never be the ones named, scrutinized, and retraumatized while Epstein’s enablers continue to benefit from secrecy. This is a betrayal of the very people this process is supposed to serve,” the statement said.
