Robert Garcia Warns DOJ Can't Withhold Epstein Files - Liberal Lens
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) spoke to reporters ahead of the Justice Department’s deadline to release the Epstein files, warning that partial or heavily redacted disclosures would violate the law. Garcia explained why Congress is skeptical of DOJ’s past behavior, how survivor protections are being handled, and what actions lawmakers may take if files are withheld.
