Politique · Epstein case · ArchivesHuit mois après que le Congrès a ordonné la publication des dossiers Epstein, le ministère de la Justice les détient toujoursRédigé 7 septembre 2026 à 21:22 UTCRegarderTranscription0:00Congress voted to take the Epstein0:01investigation out of its own hands and0:03hand it [music] directly to the Justice0:05Department. Republican Representative0:06Pete Sessions of Texas says, describing0:09a bipartisan push for answers that he0:11says turned into a political football.0:19Sessions said there was a bipartisan0:20agreement [music] to get to the bottom0:21of the Epstein case that ended up as0:23legislation passed on the floor that0:25essentially took it out of our hands and0:26gave it then directly to the law about0:28what the Department [music] of Justice0:29would do. That law, he said, was very0:31specific on survivor protection. All0:33victims would be redacted and Congress0:35would not identify a person who was a0:37victim. The shift, as Sessions [music]0:39described it, moved disclosure decisions0:41from the committee to the Justice0:42Department. He said the Attorney General0:44had the matter and the Deputy Attorney0:46General then handled the issue, coming0:48before the committee and talking with0:50lawmakers. The consequence Sessions0:52described is congressional oversight0:54sidelined by its own vote,0:56>> [music]0:56>> with the records fight now detached from0:58the committee that sought answers and1:00future releases resting with the Justice1:02Department under a mandate to shield1:03victims. Sessions [music] said he still1:05thinks there are lots of questions that1:07neither side can answer. And he said he1:09hopes Congress can move to other topics1:11where bipartisanship [music] is still1:12possible, at least in his government1:14operations subcommittee. That leaves1:16unresolved whether Congress will try to1:17reclaim oversight or what the Justice1:19Department will ultimately release.Lire l’articleChronologie de l’histoireHeyDexLe format court ↗
