艾普斯坦案再掀波瀾：美司法部發現逾百萬份新文件，解密進度延遲
美國司法部宣布發現超過一百萬份與傑佛瑞・艾普斯坦案相關的新文件，導致依《透明法》的解密進度延遲數週，引發國會議員對政府透明度的強烈質疑。
百萬份新文件浮出水面，讓傑佛瑞・艾普斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）案的真相更加撲朔迷離。美國司法部（DOJ）於2025年12月24日宣布，發現了超過一百萬份與已故金融家及性犯罪者艾普斯坦可能相關的新文件。此舉意味著，根據國會授權的資訊公開期限將會延後，引發了新的爭議。
資訊公開延宕：保護受害者還是另有隱情？
司法部在一份聲明中指出，紐約南區聯邦檢察官辦公室與聯邦調查局（FBI）發現了這批海量文件。根據上月生效的《艾普斯坦檔案透明法》，政府必須公開與艾普斯坦及其長期夥伴吉斯萊恩・麥斯威爾（Ghislaine Maxwell）相關的檔案。然而，司法部表示，審查並依法律規定對敏感資訊進行編校，需要「再多花幾週時間」。
司法部副部長托德・布蘭奇（Todd Blanche）在接受NBC電視網訪問時辯護道：「我們仍在審查文件的唯一原因，是為了保護受害者。」他反擊批評者，稱「那些抱怨文件未能如期公布的人，似乎就是不希望我們保護受害者的人。」
國會施壓，要求全面透明
儘管司法部提出解釋，但國會的質疑聲浪不減。包括與總統唐納・川普（Donald Trump）同屬共和黨的參議員麗莎・穆考斯基（Lisa Murkowski）在內的12名跨黨派參議員，已致函要求司法部代理監察長對部門的法遵情況進行審計。他們在信中強調，受害者「應得到全面的揭露」，並對「川普政府在公佈檔案方面的歷史性敵意」及案件被政治化的風險表示擔憂。
《透明法》的共同發起人、共和黨眾議員托馬斯・馬西（Thomas Massie）更在社群平台X上直言：「司法部進行非法編校並錯過最後期限，已經違法。」目前，司法部計畫以滾動方式發布紀錄，但案件的全貌揭曉，恐怕仍遙遙無期。
