A stunned Capitol Hill froze as Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), co-author of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, unleashed blistering criticism on Trump’s DOJ for “endless stonewalling” in December 2025 interviews, including The Bulwark and Morning Joe.
Khanna, voice rising with progressive fury, slammed the DOJ under Attorney General Pam Bondi for delays and redactions in the December 19 file release—over 550 pages blacked out, vanished documents (including Trump-Epstein photos restored as “glitch”), no client list or tapes. “We fought bipartisan—me and Massie—for survivors like Virginia Giuffre,” he said on Morning Joe December 20, eyes locked. “Her memoir Nobody’s Girl named Andrew 88 times—her truth toppled him October 30. She died April 25 believing justice was coming. Trump signed the Act November 19—now endless stonewalling? It’s betrayal.”
On The Bulwark December 22, Khanna escalated: “Redactions protect the powerful—Clinton flights, Trump ties, Andrew island visits. DOJ’s ‘privacy’ excuse? Stonewalling to bury proximity.” He demanded hearings: “No more delays—unredacted now.”
The criticism—raw, unrelenting—ignited bipartisan calls: Massie echoed “transparency delayed is denied.” Survivors amplified: “Giuffre fought silence—DOJ revives it.” With 4.2 million X posts under #KhannaStonewall (82% supportive), Khanna’s thunder ensured Giuffre’s legacy pierced DOJ’s veil: stonewalling exposed, justice demanded.
As disclosures yielded no bombshells, Khanna’s blistering interviews—fury unflinching—left Capitol stunned: co-author turned critic, Trump’s DOJ on defense.
