New Epstein Files Released by DOJ
1 hour ago
The Justice Department has released a new batch of documents from its investigation into financier Jeffrey Epstein and his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The records were made public Friday under a law aimed at increasing transparency around what the government knew about Epstein’s sexual abuse of underage girls and his interactions with wealthy and powerful individuals.
The newly released files are part of a much larger collection of records. Federal officials say millions of pages are still being reviewed, with hundreds of Justice Department attorneys working to redact information that could identify victims or compromise privacy protections.
Epstein was arrested in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges but died by suicide later that year while being held at a New York jail. His death has fueled ongoing public scrutiny and conspiracy theories, as well as continued demands for the release of government records related to his case.
The Justice Department says additional documents may be released as the review process continues.
