The letter from Bundy and Branch said the Justice Department had met its obligations under the Epstein Transparency Act to release documents and outlined why certain portions were removed.

To the Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Senator. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Representatives. Jamie Raskin (D-MD).
The Justice Department “consults directly with victims’ attorneys and victims” to determine what should be changed in the document, the letter said. These included “the victim’s personally identifiable information or the victim’s personal and medical records,” which the letter said “would constitute a clear and unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”
Saturday’s letter comes days after Bundy came under fire from some Democratic lawmakers and House members. Thomas Massey (R-KY) – regarding her handling of Epstein-related documents.
Raskin opened the hearing by accusing Bondi of “ignoring” Jeffrey Epstein’s victims and leading a “massive Epstein cover-up,” which he called the biggest failure in the Justice Department’s history.
“You replaced real prosecutors with fake puppets who mechanically carried out the president’s orders,” Raskin said. “Nothing in American history compares to the utter corruption of the judicial function and the taint of federal law enforcement.”
Bundy also did his part, calling Raskin a “failed failed lawyer” and a political failure.
Saturday’s letter also comes after the Justice Department released 3.5 million documents related to Epstein in late January. The documents, which Trump told reporters “exonerate” him of any wrongdoing, include an FBI document showing Trump thanked Florida police and told them to “focus” on “evil” Maxwell in 2006, among many others.
Bundy and Branch did not mention the letter on their social media accounts on Saturday, and there was no mention of the additional documents or the letter on the Justice Department’s website.
Other celebrities mentioned in the letter include: Massie; George ClooneyGovernor of Florida. Ron DeSantis (right), Jared KushnerRep. Hakeem Jeffries (DNY), Elon Muskformer vice president Mike PenceGovernor of Illinois. JB Pritzker (D), Representative from California. Eric Swalwell (4) Vice President JD VanceSecretary of State Marco Rubio, former President bill clinton, and former attorney general. Eric Holder.
