US EditionOne month after the Epstein files deadline, only a fraction of the DOJ's records have been released
Only about 12,285 documents have been released out of millions, with hundreds of reviewers manually redacting victim information, DOJ says.
- Monday marks one month since the Dec. 19 deadline and the U.S. Department of Justice has posted approximately 12,285 documents comprising approximately 125,575 pages while millions remain outstanding.
- The Epstein Files Transparency Act required the attorney general to release unclassified records within 30 days, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Dec. 19 the department was releasing hundreds of thousands of documents while more could take a couple of weeks.
- DOJ court filings stressed that careful, manual review is required and said it has employed over five hundred reviewers to redact millions of pages while making substantial progress.
- Lawmakers and survivors are pressing for oversight as Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., claim Attorney General Bondi is making illegal redactions while survivors and relatives told the DOJ inspector general redactions have been `selective` and caused renewed harm.
- The July joint FBI-DOJ memo, which said it conducted an `exhaustive` review, remains unreleased amid political backlash over Epstein's ties to Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, and the former Prince Andrew of Britain.
