"In a recent court filing, the Department of Justice admitted it still has millions of documents left to review in the Epstein files and has only released less than 1 percent, in violation of the deadline set by federal law. After mounting pressure including from his fellow Republicans President Donald Trump signed a law last month to release the files related to deceased child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice and girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell with a deadline of Friday, December 19."
"According to a five-page letter filed with the court by Jay Clayton, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, more than 2 million documents remain in various phases of review and redaction. Cheney noted that about 12,285 documents totaling 125,575 pages had been released so far in response to the federal law requiring the vast majority of the files to be released publicly by Dec. 19, meaning that less than 1 percent of the total have been released."
"Clayton's letter described for the judge the massive workload his office was bearing, with 100 experienced FBI analysts assisting over 400 DOJ attorneys who were scheduled to devote all or a substantial portion of their workday for weeks to reviewing, analyzing, and redacting files. This division of the DOJ, located in Manhattan, is the same where deposed Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro is facing criminal charges, Cheney pointed out further burdening their resources."
The Department of Justice admitted millions of Epstein-related documents remain to be reviewed while less than 1 percent have been released. A law signed last month set a Dec. 19 deadline to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The DOJ posted initial photos, documents, audio, and video files by the deadline and followed with additional releases, but most files remain unreleased. Jay Clayton reported more than 2 million documents remain in review and redaction. About 12,285 documents totaling 125,575 pages have been released so far. The review involves 100 FBI analysts assisting over 400 DOJ attorneys and may extend beyond the current presidential term.
