The Department of Justice on Friday is releasing more than three million additional pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said.
The large release comes after weeks of criticism that the DOJ was not complying with the requirement under federal law that all files related to the notorious sex offender Epstein be publicly released by Dec. 19.
Blanche said Friday the DOJ was not releasing the rest of the more than six million total pages that have been identified as potentially responsive to the Epstein Transparency Act.
Speaking at a press conference at DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C., Blanche said that more than 500 DOJ lawyers and other personnel had spent the past 75 days reviewing potential material related to Epstein and determining what needed to be released under the law.
“We’re releasing more than three million pages today, and not the six million pages that we collected,” Blanche said.
