The White House has been accused of breaking the law by failing to meet the deadline to publish all of its documents relating to the scandal.
Democratic Senate minority leader chuck Schumer said the process has so far been "full of s***" and accused the department of becoming "Trump's shill."
The DoJ was legally obligated to make all files related to the investigation into Epstein public by midnight on December 19 following the passing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

However, due to the scale of documents and the need to protect the identity of victims included in the documents, not all of the files have been released by the deadline.
Mr Schumer said: "You're dribbling [the files] out, and you’re trying to be a cheerleader for Trump."
Around 750,000 documents have been released so far but a further 700,000 remain, according to US news website Axios.
It said a team of 200 people were working on redacting information in the files, meaning they could be published within the next week.
It comes after the DoJ said its on X account on Tuesday that some of the information released online that morning contained "untrue and sensationalist" allegations about Mr Trump.
It also said a letter purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar, the convicted paedophile, in which Mr Trump was said to share "our love of young, nubile girls," was fake.
The FBI has confirmed this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE. The fake letter was received by the jail, and flagged for the FBI at the time. The FBI made this conclusion based on the following facts:

In a tweet, the DoJ wrote: "The FBI has confirmed this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE. The fake letter was received by the jail, and flagged for the FBI at the time."
The department said the writing did not appear to match Epstein's, and that it was postmarked three days after his death out of Northern Virginia, when he was jailed in New York.
It is also claimed that the return address did not list the jail where Epstein was held and "did not include his inmate number, which is required for outgoing mail."
Todd Blanche, the US deputy attorney general, said: "The Epstein files existed for years and years and years, and you did not hear a peep out of a single Democrat.
"We're supposed to believe that lo and behold, all the sudden, out of the blue, Schumer suddenly cares about the Epstein files? That's the hoax."
Mr Trump has long denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.
