The White House<\/a> has reportedly begun managing the Department of Justice’s X account in an effort to more aggressively combat theories and commentary surrounding the disclosure of theJeffrey Epstein<\/a> files.<\/p>\n

The DOJ’s social media presence has shed its traditional, reserved tone for a sharper, campaign-style approach typical of the Trump administrationmirroring the aggressive posture adopted by the Departments of Homeland Security and War, according to Axios.<\/p>\n

Posts now counter online speculation while highlighting the document review’s scope and pace.<\/p>\n

A DOJ team of about 200 has reviewed and disclosed roughly 750,000 records so far, with approximately 700,000 more awaiting examination.<\/p>\n

However, many files are duplicates or administratively redundant, meaning the final release will include thousandsnot hundreds of thousandsof new documents.<\/p>\n

‘This will end soon,’ one official told Axios of the disclosure effort, adding that ‘the conspiracy theories won’t.’<\/p>\n

The aggressive shift reflects broader frustration within the administration over persistent online narratives, even as officials emphasize they are meeting legal requirements and transparency commitments set by Congress.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the Justice Department released a major new batch of Epstein-related recordsover 11,000 files totaling nearly 30,000 pages of photos, court records, FBI and DOJ documents, emails, news clippings, and videos.<\/p>\n

Congressman Ro Khanna, a California Democrat who co-led the congressional push to release the Epstein files, called Tuesday’s batch ‘a bombshell.’<\/p>\n

He noted the files revealed Trump flew on Epstein’s plane at least eight times between 1993-1996’many more times’ than a federal prosecutor previously knew, according to a 2020 email.<\/p>\n

Khanna accused the DOJ of ‘spending more time protecting the Epstein class than the survivors, whose names are required by law to be redacted.’<\/p>\n

Republican Thomas Massie, who partnered with Khanna on the Congressional discharge petition to release the files, asked Wednesday who was ‘controlling the DOJ X account on Christmas Eve and using words like dope to refer to reporters?’ in a post on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, former Obama-era national security advisor and Pod Save America co-host Tommy Vietor called <\/a>Bondi’s Department of Justice ‘ridiculously incompetent.’<\/p>\n

Legal and transparency experts caution that the documents, while significant, should be interpreted with care: many are duplicates, heavily redacted, or contain allegations or inferences rather than proven facts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
