Congressional Oversight Demand Tracker

One row per demand: who asked, of whom, for what, and whether it has been answered. Below the tracker: the full archive of official government press releases, subpoenas, depositions and legislative actions this tracker is built from.

See also: what Congress cites, every document footnoted in these letters, resolved to the page it rests on.

Oversight Demand Tracker

One row per demand (an ask with a named addressee), not per press release. Each row is either backed by the full text of a letter we hold (data/pdf_text/congressional_letters.jsonl) or by a specific, independently dated item already curated on this site (a House Oversight/Senate press release, or internal/testimony.json's record of a deposition, transcribed interview, or written declaration). 'No response recorded' means we found no reply, production, or refusal in our sources - it is not a claim that DOJ (or another addressee) refused; 'Not resolved as to this specific subpoena' is used where a same-named release exists but cannot be tied to this row with confidence. Every row links its addressee's own primary source, our own held copy of the letter where we have one, or both. Outstanding-days and time-to-resolution are computed at build time from the dates above, not stored, so they stay current on every rebuild. Historical (pre-2025, pre-Epstein Files Transparency Act) congressional letters remain in the bibliography below only; they predate the compliance fight this tracker covers.

Statuses hand-curated as of Sep 26, 2026. Outstanding-day counts recompute each time this page is built.
