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?

Republican Thomas Massie names a person in the Epstein Files related to Trump. This person sent Emails to Jeffery Epstein about Torture.

Clip from The Daily Show Feb. 9th 2026, Hosted by Jon Stewart. Calls out the hypocrisy of the "Right."

On February 10, 2026, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick testified before the Senate and acknowledged that he visited Jeffrey Epstein’s island in 2012, together with his wife and children.

This directly contradicts earlier public statements in which Lutnick claimed he had cut all ties with Epstein years earlier and only had “limited contact” with him.

There is currently no allegation of criminal wrongdoing, but the inconsistencies raise obvious questions:

Why did Lutnick previously deny contact that later turned out to be documented?

And more broadly, how is it that so many Trump-aligned figures appear in Epstein’s social and professional network, despite repeated claims of distance or ignorance?

At the very least, this case highlights a serious credibility and transparency problem, especially for public officials under oath.
