The bill mandating the Department of Justice to release the Jeffrey Epstein files has been signed into law, but certain parts may still never be seen by the public. That's at least in part because the DOJ has been paying FBI agents nearly $1 million in overtime to work on the "Epstein Transparency Project" at a bureau facility in Winchester, Virginia. FBI Director Kash Patel has tasked nearly 1,000 agents on the project, which, according to internal reports, has also been referred to as the "Special Redaction Project." Between March 17 and March 22, the bureau spent $851,344, according to a Bloomberg report, and agents racked up 4,737 hours of overtime pay between January and July looking through the DOJ's evidence on Epstein.

The moves, sources said, are an indication that domestic terrorism investigations, which in recent years have largely involved violence fueled by right-wing ideologies, may be less of a priority under FBI Director Kash Patel, a prominent critic of the effort.
A MAGA city council member in Arizona and former Turning Point USA employee has been accused of offering an employee a job in exchange for sex and kidnapping his daughter.
