"It's creepy": Mace says DOJ is tracking which Epstein files members of Congress open
On February 11, 2026, Mace said the DOJ was monitoring which Epstein files members of Congress opened and when, calling the surveillance of congressional access "creepy."
On February 11, 2026, Mace alleged that the Department of Justice was monitoring which Epstein files members of Congress accessed in the department's review system, and when.
"It's creepy. I'm pretty tech savvy. I've played around with the system. They're tracking every file that we open, and when we open it. They're tracking everything."
The remarks prompted lawmakers from both parties to demand the DOJ cease tracking members' file searches.
