Justice Dept. Scrambles 400 Lawyers for 5.2 Million Epstein Pages

The U.S. Justice Department is now reviewing 5.2 million pages of documents related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. This new figure is a more precise count and suggests the total evidence is far larger than earlier estimates. To manage this massive task, the department is seeking to enlist approximately 400 lawyers. Their job will be to examine the documents for any material that must be publicly released. Epstein was charged with sex trafficking before his death in jail in 2019. The document review is part of ongoing legal efforts related to his case. The scale of the review highlights the complexity of the investigation.
