Tonight on All-Land.

Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?

The cover-up continues as Trump's DOJ releases some of the Epstein files and blacks out the rest.

Some of the documents I've just been scanning them have very heavy redactions.

The law is very clear that any redaction has to be justified in writing.

We'll tell you what we know and what we don't as the administration drags its feet on full

It's clear that the Justice Department is just doing this at its own pace, regardless

They're just expecting that, look, you know, this is a huge undertaking. You're just going to have to take what we give you, and then we'll give you some more later. Tonight, former Attorney General

for an already flailing White House.

I think we ought to bring Pam Bondi before the Senate Judiciary Committee, demand answers as to why the department has violated the law.

And Epstein survivor, Jess Michaels, on her reaction to today's news.

But all in starts right now.

Well, today was the day, as you may know, December 19th, that, of course, the deadline mandated by law for Donald Trump's Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.

All of them, basically unredacted.

And we got a release with an enormous asterisk, which is that they are very clearly violating

that law, which is not surprising.

It is a law that they fought at every single opportunity, from shutting the entire House

of Representatives down for months
