A Reagan-appointed federal judge rejected the Justice Department's attempt to seal FBI notes documenting a woman's allegation that Epstein trafficked her to Trump. The judge said the documents should be public. Separately, lawmakers used a discharge petition to force the release of additional Epstein documents, and Senator Whitehouse publicly challenged Kash Patel over his handling of the material.
The pattern across these moves is consistent: the administration is trying to keep Epstein-related documents sealed, and courts and Congress are pushing back. The judge's decision to unseal the notes is notable because federal judges rarely override the DOJ's secrecy requests. That it happened here suggests the judge found the administration's argument for sealing unusually weak. These documents are part of the public record for a reason—they document allegations against a sitting president.
