Despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act becoming law last year, millions of files<\/u> related to Jeffrey Epstein remain withheld by the Trump administration, but a new effort from a bipartisan congressional duo could be a “game-changer” in forcing their full release, one legal expert said Monday.<\/p>\n

The Justice Department released millions of Epstein-related files last year following the passage of the EFTA, but withheld millions and redacted many of them beyond what was permitted by law<\/u>, critics have argued. Last month, outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) promoted what could be his last legislative win in Congress, a \u201csequel<\/u>,\u201d he called it, to the EFTA, one that attorney Oleg Nekritin said could be a breakthrough.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the first Epstein Files Transparency Act, people were permitted to search for various records, but people criticized those specific records, because a lot of them were redacted, they were difficult to read, and critics said they didn\u2019t even disclose individuals who may have been involved \u2026 in various criminal acts,\u201d Oleg told The Guardian for its report Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf passed, [the successor to the EFTA] will be a gamechanger for individuals who want to investigate further or learn more about Epstein or individuals associated with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the proposed legislation, which is co-sponsored by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) \u2013 who co-sponsored the original EFTA alongside Massie \u2013 the U.S. attorney general would be forced to cooperate with state attorneys general who want to prosecute potential Epstein co-conspirators.<\/p>\n

The New Mexico Democratic attorney general, Ra\u00fal Torrez, claimed<\/u> to have asked the DOJ nearly half a dozen times over the past five months to hand over files from its trove of Epstein-related documents, but has yet to receive a single response. He accused the DOJ of \u201ccausing real and escalating harm\u201d to his state\u2019s own probe<\/u> into Epstein\u2019s activity.<\/p>\n

Were Massie and Khanna\u2019s new bill to become law, it would force the DOJ to cooperate with state-led probes into Epstein\u2019s activity, such as in New Mexico.<\/p>\n

The bill would also bar the DOJ from citing privilege exemptions \u2013 deliberative-process, attorney-client, and work-product privilege among them \u2013 as grounds to withhold Epstein-related files, a tactic the department has repeatedly employed<\/u>.<\/p>\n

The only question, noted Carl Tobias of the University of Richmond School of Law, was whether such a bill could make its way to Trump\u2019s desk for final approval.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan it pass?\u201d Tobias asked, speaking with The Guardian. \u201cCan they move it in the House or maybe even more difficult, in the Senate?\u201d<\/p>\n
