The DoJ failed to comply with Epstein files law –can Congress do anything?

Lawmakers threatening legal action face major obstacle: those with legal power in this case are the ones accused of failing to follow the law

After Donald Trump's justice department failed on Friday to release all documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as required by law, multiple Congress members didn't only voice outrage - they threatened legal action as well.

Several attorneys told the Guardian that those making the legal threats do have tools with which to try to follow through. But there's a major obstacle: those with legal authority in this case are the ones accused of failing to follow the law.
