Epstein file dump sparks call for internal memos despite DoJ claim of complete release

The U.S. Department of Justice says all records under the Epstein Files Transparency Act have been released, but lawmakers including Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie contend internal memos and deliberations about prosecutions should also be public. The release lists various individuals connected to the files, sparking ongoing debate over transparency versus protecting investigations and survivor privacy, with critics arguing the batch still lacks crucial context and redactions were insufficient.

Trump says Bondi pressured Gabbard to attend Georgia election raid

Trump claimed Pam Bondi directed Tulsi Gabbard to attend the Fulton County election center raid, contradicting Gabbard’s claim that Trump asked her to go; the FBI seized hundreds of boxes of ballots and documents, stoking political tensions as officials say there’s no evidence of widespread 2020 fraud; both Bondi and the president and Gabbard’s office offered overlapping accounts, and the DOJ has not commented; Deputy AG said Gabbard was near the search but not part of the probe.

Rhetoric in Minnesota immigration surge tests federal-state clash

At a Minneapolis hearing on Operation Metro Surge, a federal judge weighed whether Trump’s threats and Bondi’s directive letter show the surge is coercive rather than strictly immigration enforcement, with Minnesota arguing it violates the 10th Amendment and seeks to end the operation, while federal lawyers maintain it’s a lawful response to crime and unrest, and Trump has signaled de-escalation in talks with Gov. Walz.

Judge questions legality of Bondi's three-person control of NJ U.S. Attorney's Office

A federal judge in Newark spent three hours evaluating whether Attorney General Pam Bondi's three-person leadership of the New Jersey U.S. Attorney's Office—established after Alina Habba stepped down—meets constitutional and Senate-confirmation norms. The judge pressed whether this unprecedented “triumvirate” can wield office powers indefinitely, with potential implications for federal vacancies and the DOJ; a ruling is expected by February.
