DOJ reviewed under 1% of Epstein files

The Justice Department is currently reviewing millions of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires the release of extensive records by December 19. So far, approximately 12,285 documents totaling 125,575 pages have been released, but over 2 million remain under review, with concerns raised about the pace of release and protection of victims’ identities. Congressional Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have criticized the department for missing the deadline and accused it of a cover-up. Over 400 lawyers are involved in the review process, and the department plans to continue releasing documents on a rolling basis.
