DOJ scrutinized by Democrats over claims of Epstein files ‘spying’
From MS NOW
The Department of Justice faces criticism from House Democrats over allegations of surveillance on lawmakers viewing unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files, which they claim constitutes a violation of the separation of powers. The scrutiny intensified following a contentious hearing where evidence of tracking Congresswoman Jayapal's search history was reportedly presented, raising concerns about accountability for Epstein's crimes and the treatment of survivors.
Key Takeaways

- A piece of paper titled 'Jayapal's Search History'—the DOJ might need a better PR team.
- Survivors raise hands, while justice seems to be hiding in plain sight—talk about ironic.
- Bondi's refusal to apologize? The only thing getting ‘unredacted’ here is accountability.
- Oversight or snooping? Who knew the DOJ turned congressional privacy into a real-life episode of 'Surveillance Nation'?
