Amid outrage over limited release so far and widespread redactions, DoJ analysts labor to vet remaining files
The US justice department estimates it has hundreds of thousands of additional records related to Jeffrey Epstein to review – a process that involves a team of 200 departmental analysts and which will take another week to complete.
According to Axios, which cited unnamed justice department officials, about 750,000 records have been reviewed and disclosed, and about 700,000 more remain to be examined. However, many of those may be duplicates, so the remaining number of records may only be in the thousands.
“This will end soon,” an official told the outlet. “The conspiracy theories won’t.”
On Friday last week, the day of the first releases, the deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche, said: “I expect we’re going to release several hundred thousand documents today, and those documents will come in all different forms, photographs and other materials associated with all of the investigations into Mr Epstein”.
