- On Jan. 8, 2026, Ro Khanna, Representative , and Thomas Massie, Representative , asked U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer to appoint a special master or independent monitor to enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

- Khanna told NPR, `We have offered for six months to meet with the Justice Department to help them get the right documents out, and we're now going to be intervening with the Southern District of New York to ask those judges to appoint a special master and ensure that all the documents are released,'
- On Dec. 24 the DOJ reported receiving over a million additional documents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and SDNY, and Pam Bondi said 400 attorneys are reviewing files with a next batch due Jan. 20.
