I mean, back when the Epstein files were released on January 30th, the Justice Department said they were all done in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act law Congress passed.

When we asked specifically about these documents, the Justice Department would not comment on them directly and said anything that might have been withheld was because of privilege or they were duplicates or they were part of an ongoing federal investigation.

After more people reported on the documents and there was more of a public backlash, the story changed again.

The Justice Department said they were reviewing to see if anything was accidentally mistakenly tagged as duplicate, and if they found something, of course they would publish it.

So fast forward to Thursday night, where there were a thousand new pages uploaded, including some documents that it discovered were, quote, incorrectly coded as duplicative, and a few more documents related to prosecution memos that the Southern District of Florida determined could be published while

protecting privileged materials.

That said, we still know based on looking at the serial numbers stamped onto these documents and the logs of files turned over to Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney in her case that there are still 37 pages at least that still haven't been published.

There wasn't necessarily much new in there.

Hillary Clinton said before, during, and after the deposition that she didn't know Epstein, never really met with him, and that they should be talking to people that did, like President Trump.

Former President Bill Clinton seemed to have a lot more to say.

He told the committee he was glad that they asked him to be there and

acknowledged that he met and traveled with epstein some but he told the committee that initially he thought epstein was a quote interesting man but he said there's nothing that i saw when i was around him that made me realize he was trafficking women clinton said he never witnessed epstein abuse young women or girls nor did he discuss any sexual acts with him neither one of them have been charged with any sort of crime related to epstein like many of the other people that we've mentioned

Well, he is also not accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein and his crimes, but the release of these files show that Lutnick had a deeper and longer relationship with Epstein than he previously disclosed to Congress.

We knew that they were next-door neighbors, and Lutnick had previously said they cut ties in 2005 after one visit to Epstein's house.

But looking at the files, you saw that he visited Jeffrey Epstein's private island in 2012 with his family, and this was after Epstein had been a registered sex offender.

There are other communications in the files over the years.

So members of Congress have questions about Lutnick's credibility and truthfulness.

Well, after the reporting on these documents that were withheld and others that we found that were removed and put back up, the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee sent a letter to Bondi demanding answers about these documents.

Also ahead of the Clinton deposition, Chairman Comer said he was looking into the reporting and hadn't really got an answer from the administration what was going on.

And so you had the Oversight Committee, where it was the Democrats and a few Republicans
