More than a month after the deadline for the DOJ to release all the files, the vast majority are still not public.

More than a month has passed since the deadline for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release all its files related to the investigations into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. And while the department has publicly shared thousands of documents since that date, those releases account for only a fraction of the materials it has in its possession—leaving the vast majority of the so-called “Epstein files” still unreleased.

“I don’t give a rip about Epstein,” Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado said last week.

“Like, there’s so many other things we need to be working on,” she continued. “I’ve done what I had to do for Epstein. Talk to somebody else about that. It’s no longer in my hands.”

Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, who serves as the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told reporters last week that he believes the DOJ “is cooperating.”

“They are turning over documents,” he said. “We would all like for them to turn documents over quicker, but at the end of the day, they are complying.”

Hogan, like everyone else, only discovered the identity of his mysterious and dedicated benefactor after the trial.
