Federal judge threatens DOJ with contempt over Epstein files
Original: NEW: A federal judge just told Trump's AG: release the Epstein files or face CONTEMPT charges. Judge Sullivan's order sa
A federal judge has ordered the Justice Department to explain its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, warning Attorney General Pam Bondi's department that contempt charges could follow if it does not comply. The order stops short of holding anyone in contempt, calling that step 'premature' for now, but puts the DOJ on notice that further delay could trigger legal consequences as pressure to unseal the documents continues to build.
Why now: Ongoing controversy over the Justice Department's refusal or delay in releasing the Epstein files has kept the case in the spotlight
