Epstein Probe Ties Up Over 125 Federal Prosecutors in New York

The U.S. Justice Department has assigned an unusually large number of federal prosecutors to the Jeffrey Epstein case. More than 125 lawyers from the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office alone are involved. Their task is to review a massive collection of evidence. The team must examine more than two million documents related to the late financier and his associates. This scale of manpower highlights the complexity and priority of the investigation. The Southern District of New York is a major office for high-profile financial and sex crimes cases. Diverting so many prosecutors to a single case is rare. It signals the department's significant commitment to the ongoing probe into Epstein’s sex trafficking network.
