DOJ Says Epstein File Release Could Take Weeks Longer
4 weeks ago
The U.S. Department of Justice says it may take several more weeks to complete the release of all documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, further delaying compliance with a Dec. 19 deadline set by Congress.
In a statement released Wednesday, the DOJ said the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, along with the FBI, identified more than one million additional documents that could be relevant to the case. The department did not specify when it was first informed about the newly discovered files.
The Justice Department said its attorneys are working “around the clock” to review the materials and make legally required redactions under a law passed nearly unanimously by Congress last month.
