US Justice Department Releases 3 Million More Epstein Files

The US Justice Department has released over 3 million pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, following a deadline set by Congress. This release comes after significant public pressure and legal requirements.

These files were made available under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandates the disclosure of government records on the late financier and his associates like Ghislaine Maxwell. The department had initially missed a December 19 deadline but tasked hundreds of lawyers to review the documents for redactions protecting abuse victims' identities.

This latest disclosure includes 5.2 million documents, including duplicates, after an initial release in December. The move reflects ongoing efforts to address transparency demands in the case involving sexual abuse and interactions with powerful individuals.
