The U.S. Justice Department announced the discovery of over a million additional documents potentially linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Officials are delaying the full release of these files for several weeks to carefully redact sensitive information protecting victims.
Recently, the Biden administration began releasing investigative records related to Epstein’s case, in accordance with a law passed by Congress last month. This legislation, approved despite President Trump’s objections, mandates the release of all documents by December 19, allowing for partial redactions to safeguard privacy.
So far, the published records have been heavily redacted, aggravating some Republican critics and doing little to alleviate a scandal that poses a political threat ahead of the 2024 midterm elections.
The Justice Department stated on social media that federal agents had uncovered these additional records through FBI and Manhattan prosecutors, without providing details on the timing or discovery method. They emphasized that legal teams are working tirelessly around the clock to review and redact information, and the documents will be released as soon as possible. The process, due to the volume, may take a few more weeks.
