New york: More than 1 million additional documents related to the Epstein case have been discovered. The U.S. Department of Justice revealed that it has discovered millions of documents potentially related to the case of the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. It will take two to three weeks to review these documents before they can be made public.
According to Thai News Agency, the U.S. Department of Justice stated that the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York has notified them of the discovery of more than one million additional documents potentially related to the Epstein case. To comply with the Epstein Transparency Act, as well as existing legal requirements and court orders, the Department has a legal team working around the clock to review and redact content as required by law to protect victims. They will release these documents as soon as possible, but due to the sheer volume of the documents, this process may take an additional two to three weeks. The Department will continue to fully comply with federal law and President Donald Trump’s orders in disclosing these files.
The U.S. Justice Department’s announcement yesterday comes as the government begins releasing documents related to the Epstein case under the new transparency law passed by Congress last month. The original deadline for releasing all documents was last Friday, and the Justice Department posted a massive collection of documents, followed by another release early Saturday morning, and a crucial final release on Tuesday, which includes several notable references to President Trump.
However, the delay in releasing the documents has led to criticism of the Trump administration by members of Congress from both parties, as well as the growing number of Epstein abuse victims. Some questioned the overly strict and indiscriminate cover-up, which appeared to protect Epstein’s close associates from scrutiny. Others expressed dissatisfaction that the cover-up was insufficient, resulting in the exposure of victims’ personal information.
