美司法部恐成被告 爱泼斯坦档案争议再升级

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Senate Minority Leader Schumer announced plans to push for a resolution requiring the Senate to take legal action against the Department of Justice (DOJ) to compel the full disclosure of all documents related to Epstein and Maxwell after the Senate reconvenes in January [1][4][18]. Group 1: Legislative Actions - Schumer's resolution aims to enable the Senate to file or join a lawsuit against the DOJ to enforce compliance with the Epstein Transparency Act, which mandates the DOJ to publicly release relevant documents within 30 days of the law's enactment [5][18]. - The DOJ has faced criticism for not fully complying with the law, having only released partial materials by the deadline, citing the need for thorough review and victim privacy protection [5][10][17]. Group 2: Public and Political Reactions - Public criticism of the DOJ centers on excessive redactions, insufficient document release, and the potential harm to victims due to the manner of disclosure [11][14]. - The White House and DOJ emphasize victim protection, but their differing focuses have led to skepticism among the public regarding the government's handling of the Epstein case [15][17]. Group 3: Challenges Ahead - The resolution proposed by Schumer faces significant hurdles, including political support in a Republican-controlled Senate, judicial willingness to intervene, and the practicalities of enforcing compliance with any court ruling [19][22]. - Potential outcomes include increased scrutiny from Congress, ongoing public pressure on the DOJ, and the possibility of the DOJ preemptively releasing more documents to mitigate backlash [22].
