Washington. The Justice Department inspector general announced Thursday that his office will audit the department's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the law President Donald Trump signed last November that required the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell within 30 days, a deadline the department did not meet. The review will evaluate DOJ processes for identifying, collecting, redacting and releasing responsive material, and will examine guidance given to staff and post‑release handling of publication concerns after survivors and lawmakers raised complaints this week; Court House News Service identified Inspector General William Blier as leading the review, and TribLIVE described the audit as politically significant.
