Four U.S. senators demanded an independent audit of the Epstein files

All Rise News: “In a letter to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Ala.) joined Democratic Senators Dick Durbin of Illinois, Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, giving the request bipartisan buy-in. “On January 30, 2026, DOJ published over three million pages and files of Epstein-related records, including more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images,” the senators wrote in a three-page letter. “Contrary to Congress’s explicit directive to protect victims, these records included email addresses and nude photos in which the names and faces of publicly-identified and non-public victims could be identified. But when it came to information identifying powerful business and political figures who are alleged co-conspirators or material witnesses, DOJ appears to have heavily redacted those records.” Although it’s part of the legislative branch, the GAO operates independently. “I can confirm that GAO has received a congressional request regarding the subject you mention,” the agency’s spokeswoman told All Rise News. “GAO has a process it goes through to determine whether we do work and when, which we are working through right now.”
