Jamie Raskin, the top Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee, said that after searching for keywords related to Trump in the unredacted Epstein files made available to Congress, the system returned results "over one million entries." Raskin told Axios that a 2009 email record was particularly notable: in communication with his accomplice Maxwell, Epstein recounted a call in which a lawyer stated that Trump denied that Epstein was a member of Mar-a-Lago, but admitted that he had entered the estate as a guest and denied ever having "kicked him out." Raskin believes this contradicts Trump's public claim that he had expelled Epstein from Mar-a-Lago due to Epstein's inappropriate behavior. The White House denied the allegations, emphasizing that Trump had no improper conduct regarding Epstein. Deputy Attorney General Brant accused some lawmakers of exaggerating, saying the Department of Justice "has not hidden anything." After external questioning about the files being improperly redacted, the Department of Justice has allowed members of the Judiciary Committee, including Raskin and Thomas Massie, to access unredacted documents at the headquarters terminal. Raskin criticized the current access arrangements and database tools as "chaotic and unreliable" and called for the disclosure of approximately 3 million still-unreleased documents, stating that if these materials are indeed "repetitive" as the government claims, they should be left to the public to judge.
