They're saying that DOJ is not complying with the law.

DOJ maintains that it would be impossible for them to truly comply with the law and release all the information on time.

But members of Congress are saying you're not doing what the law says you were supposed to do.

As part of the Epstein files release, we were supposed to get grand jury documents that relate to Ghislaine Maxwell.

Did we learn anything new about her?

We really also didn't learn much new about her.

DOJ did ask judges to be able to release the grand jury materials publicly, and they did release those materials, but they were also heavily redacted.

I think Ghislaine Maxwell's request for some kind of reprieve from her sentence is really a wild card in this saga.

You never really know with Trump what he's going to do.

He has said that he has not ruled out

And so I'm not sure if we saw information in this tranche of materials that could give us any kind of signals of what's going to happen, in part because Trump is just a unpredictable character in this saga.

Do you think the objective has become muddled?

I mean, it's worth asking, like, why do we want to see them?

And you mentioned people being held accountable.

And then there is the politics of all of this.

Both parties are trying to sort of use this to their advantage.

Do you think there is a clear objective at this point?

I think this really tragic saga of a powerful man who was able to use his power to abuse women for years has really morphed into a kind of political firestorm and flashpoint.

We have Democrats trying to stoke division among the president's base and really use this issue to kind of pare back support for Trump.

And on the flip side of that, we see Republicans acting defensively.
