The disclosure raises questions whether the Justice Department’s attempts to unseal the transcripts will satiate the appetite for more information.

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-New York) said Wednesday that Senate Democrats are prepared to sue to force the Justice Department to disclose material related to Jeffrey Epstein. Schumer sent a letter to the Justice Department on Wednesday invoking a rarely used 1928 law to demand that the administration make public the records involving the disgraced financier who died in federal custody in 2019 after his arrest on sex trafficking charges.
