The review team includes over 400 lawyers dedicating substantial portions of their workdays, but top officials say substantial work remains. The Department announced discovery of more than 1 million additional potentially related documents on Christmas Eve. The review process could take additional weeks because of the mass volume of material. Department representatives did not immediately state when the process will finish.
