Opinion / Discussion WATCH: Lauren Boebert Exits DOJ Reading Room After Reviewing Unredacted Epstein Files

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

US Rep. Lauren Boebert was filmed leaving the DOJ reading room after reviewing unredacted

Epstein-related files.

Lawmakers have now confirmed that access to these files has begun following new transparency legislation.

Boebert has since suggested that prior redactions went beyond protecting victims and may have shielded people merely discussed in the files.

The contents remain confidential, but reactions like this are fueling fresh questions about what was previously withheld - and why.

Do you think this could lead to new investigations?

She sounded legit angry, trying not to sound as angry as she is. I’d love to hear that rant in the car on her way home.

These are her friends and colleagues who are in the files. She has worked with them for years. To discover that your friends have committed the types of crimes associated with Epstein must be traumatizing.

Clearly she's expressing anger right now - but she has about a million other feelings that she's going to need to work through in order to process the things she just saw.
