Lawmakers Demand DOJ Stop Tracking Their Epstein Files Searches
The Hill reported in February 2026 that Mace and other lawmakers demanded the DOJ stop tracking which members of Congress opened specific Epstein files and when, after Mace described the monitoring as 'creepy' and said the system logged every file access. The story drew bipartisan condemnation of the DOJ's surveillance of congressional oversight activity.
The Hill covered Mace's disclosure that the DOJ was logging congressional file access, a complaint she described as bipartisan, as part of her broader push for unredacted Epstein records.
