Federal judge warns Trump's AG: release Epstein files or face contempt

A federal judge has ordered the Justice Department to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein, warning Attorney General Pam Bondi that contempt charges could follow if the department continues to withhold them. The order describes contempt as 'premature' for now, but signals the court is losing patience with the DOJ's stalling on the disclosures.

Why now: The Justice Department faces a court deadline to disclose long-sought Epstein files, a politically charged issue involving Trump's administration.
