The group's CEO, Skye Perryman, criticized the government's failure to release the records, calling it an extraordinary situation requiring urgent court intervention.
The DOJ recently announced it would not release further documents from the Epstein case, sparking renewed public scrutiny.
CNN reported that top Trump officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, met Wednesday at the White House to discuss the administration's response.
