Members of Congress will be able to view unredacted Epstein files next week [View all]

Source: NBC News

Members of Congress will be able to begin reviewing the unredacted version of the Department of Justice’s files on Jeffrey Epstein on Monday morning, according to two sources familiar with the DOJ’s plans.

The review process will take place in person at DOJ, according to a letter to members of Congress obtained by NBC News. The members will be able to review the material on computers at the DOJ offices but not review the physical documents themselves.

The letter states that members can review the documents in person, provided they give DOJ 24 hours' notice. The option at this point is only available to members of Congress — and not their staff. They may take notes, but cannot bring in any electronic devices, the letter said.

The review will only be of the 3 million files currently available to the public, not the extensive trove of more than 6 million documents in total that the DOJ says it has in its possession.
