包括纽约州参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（民主党）在内的知名民主党人立即对该广告表示支持，此前司法部已公布超过300万页文件并结束审查。
舒默在X平台分享了该广告视频，称其为“当天最重要的广告”。
“你不能对世界上最大的性交易团伙‘翻篇’。你必须揭露它。#与幸存者站在一起，”舒默写道。
加州民主党众议员罗伯特·加西亚一直在众议院牵头调查爱泼斯坦相关事宜，他也发布了类似信息。
广告中女性在屏幕上闪过“告诉司法部长帕姆·邦迪是时候说出真相了”的文字，表达了对司法部的不满。
该广告发布前，司法部上月宣布已公布超过300万页案件文件。司法部表示，最初有超过600万页文件，但因多种原因保留了大部分内容，包括信息可能会识别出所谓受害者或受法律特权保护。
被遗漏的文件导致爱泼斯坦法案的主要支持者，包括爱泼斯坦的受害者和肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·梅西，声称司法部未遵守透明度法。
司法部对此提出异议，称其审查“非常全面”，且未为保护唐纳德·特朗普总统或其他与爱泼斯坦有过交往的富人和政治关联人士（包括从未被指控与爱泼斯坦犯罪有关的前总统比尔·克林顿）而隐瞒任何信息。
梅西是计划周一前往司法部审查未公开文件的议员之一。
超级碗广告由进步非营利组织Tides Center旗下的World Without Exploitation项目制作。
广告中闪过几名女性手持年轻时照片和编辑标记的画面，暗指司法部大量编辑部分文件却未编辑其他文件中的姓名，令人不满。
“经过多年分离，我们现在团结在一起，”其中一名女性说，“因为这个女孩值得真相。”
司法部表示，已迅速纠正了已发现的编辑错误。
对于该广告的置评请求，司法部未予回应。

Numerous women urged Attorney General Pam Bondi in a high-profile Super Bowl ad on Sunday to release more files from Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking cases, signaling their dissatisfaction with the Department of Justice’s efforts to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Prominent Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., immediately elevated the ad, which came in the wake of the DOJ releasing more than 3 million pages of files and concluding its review.
Schumer shared a video of it on X, calling it “the most important ad” of the day.
“You don’t ‘move on’ from the largest sex trafficking ring in the world. You expose it. #StandWithSurvivors,” Schumer wrote.
Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., who has been leading Democrats’ inquiries into Epstein matters in the House, shared a similar message.
The women in the commercial conveyed their disapproval of the DOJ as the words “Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi it’s time for the truth” flashed across the screen.
The commercial comes after the DOJ announced last month the release of more than 3 million pages from the case files. The department said it started with more than 6 million pages but withheld a major portion for a variety of reasons, including because the information could identify alleged victims or was protected by legal privileges.
The omitted files led top supporters of the Epstein legislation, including Epstein’s victims and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., to contend that the DOJ failed to comply with the transparency law.
The DOJ has disputed that claim, saying its review was “very comprehensive” and that it did not hide any information for the purpose of protecting President Donald Trump or other wealthy and politically connected people, including former President Bill Clinton, who were once friends with Epstein but were never accused of crimes associated with him.
Massie is among lawmakers who said they planned to visit the DOJ on Monday to review undisclosed files.
The Super Bowl commercial was created by World Without Exploitation, a project of the Tides Center, a progressive nonprofit.
It flashed images of several women holding photos of their younger selves and images of redaction marks, a nod to frustrations surrounding the DOJ heavily redacting some files while neglecting to redact names in others.
“After years of being kept apart, we’re standing together,” one of the women says. “Because this girl deserves the truth.”
The department said it has moved swiftly to correct any redaction mistakes that have been brought to its attention.
The DOJ did not respond to a request for comment on the commercial.
