Epstein Case: Over One Million New Documents Found, Says DOJ

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has discovered more than one million additional documents potentially connected to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Officials say this will significantly delay the public release of files. In a new statement, the DOJ said the review process "may take a few more weeks" longer than expected. The delay is due to the massive volume of these newly identified materials. The documents are part of an ongoing court-ordered release related to Epstein, the financier who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The first batch of records, released earlier this year, revealed names of many associates. The DOJ must now review the over one million new documents before any can be made public. This process ensures the protection of sensitive personal information, as required by law. No specific timeline for the next release has been provided.
