Epstein files release – latest updates
The US deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche, announced on Friday that the justice department is releasing more than 3 million pages of documents related to its investigation into disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In a testy news conference, Blanche said that the release will include more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, which will have “extensive redactions”. He added that the Trump administration has produced roughly 3.5m pages in an effort to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. He said that they include large quantities of commercial pornography and images “that were seized from Epstein’s devices”.
“The department’s collection effort resulted in more than 6 million pages being identified as potentially responsive, including Department and FBI emails, interview summaries, images, videos and various other materials collected and generated during the various investigations and prosecutions that the act covered,” Blanche said.
