The US Justice Department yesterday published a new and final cache of millions of documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, under a law passed in November that required the release of all Epstein-related records.
Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, said at a Press conference that yesterday’s massive batch of files marked the end of the Trump administration’s planned releases under the law. The new cache includes more than three million pages, 2000 videos, and 180,000 images, he said.
The files include “extensive” redactions, he said, given the law’s exceptions permitting certain documents to be blacked out, including identifying information of victims or materials related to active investigations. Previous releases have been heavily redacted, drawing criticism from some members of Congress.
Reuters is in the process of reviewing the files.
