The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in a court filing Monday, defended its subpoena seeking potential witnesses and victims of antisemitism at the university and said the request is not unusual for such investigations. The commission is seeking employees' names, home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses to further an investigation it began in 2023 over the school's treatment of Jewish faculty and other employees regarding antisemitism complaints following Hamas' attack on Israel. "The EEOC insists that Penn produce this information without the consent " and indeed, over the objections " of the employees impacted while entirely disregarding the frightening and well-documented history of governmental entities that undertook efforts to identify and assemble information regarding persons of Jewish ancestry," the university wrote in its filing.

Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin spoke with reporters on Monday after viewing unredacted versions of the Epstein files, relaying that one document he saw appeared to suggest that Trump never asked Epstein to leave his Mar-a-Lago club like the president has claimed

Rep. Jamie Raskin News Conference on Epstein Files
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, spoke to reporters after his own review of unredacted files held by the Justice Department related to its investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. He accused the Justice Department of making numerous "completely unnecessary" redactions that he said appeared to protect President Trump and former Victoria's Secret CEO Les Wexner, among others, and questioned whether the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law in late 2025, was being fully followed by the Trump administration

"We need to be investigating the money. We need to be investigating the organizational hierarchy. There's no way you run a billion dollars international child trafficking ring with just two people committing crimes, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. No way. It doesn't work like that. So we need to figure out what other conspiracies were involved, what Our co-conspirators were involved, and I really do believe that listening to the survivors is going to be our pathway through this nightmare."

"Well, remember what Congress called for was a complete release of the files and just the redaction of the names of the victims. Now, unfortunately, the names of the victims were not redacted relating to more than 100 women in the case, so that is baffling and staggering that that would happen. But then there are Thousands and thousands of pages replete with redactions. There are entire pages and memos where you can't see anything. It's all blacked out and there are no names of victims in there. So it's just a very puzzling thing and the Department of Justice needs to explain it. The whole country should be able to read what this federal law compelled them to produce."
