Lawmakers' quest to uncover information related to the investigation of convicted sex offender and financier Jefferey Epstein continued this week.

Members of the Trump administration testified before Congress, as did Epstein's convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. Members of Congress are still seeking answers on the Justice Department's redactions in the files and the investigation overall. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom continues with its own reckoning.

The massive tranche of documents — including emails, photos and other documents — are materials collected during the Justice Department's investigation into Epstein and Maxwell. Many of the documents include unverified claims and little if any context. Congress passed a law mandating their release, and lawmakers are now combing through them seeking further accountability for the victims.
