Senate Democrats leverage rare law to demand Epstein files and FBI threat assessment

Senate Democrats are using a nearly 100-year-old law to pressure the Department of Justice to release more files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, including audio and video evidence, amid ongoing political efforts to keep the issue prominent. The request faces legal and political hurdles, with success depending on the Trump administration's willingness to release the documents and potential court battles over congressional access to executive branch information.
