## Resource

The Justice Department just dropped another 3 million pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, hoping to satisfy critics who have been demanding transparency on the Epstein files since Donald Trump’s election. There’s just one problem: The documents conceal the only thing people care about — the names of the perpetrators — while recklessly outing innocent victims. Matt Kibbe and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) discuss whether this botched release is the result of incompetence or malice, whether these emails contain any smoking guns, and what can be done to force further releases from the administration that campaigned on being the most transparent in history.
