US justice department releases more than 3 million new pages of Epstein files

AI Summary
The US Justice Department released over 3 million pages of documents related to its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, fulfilling the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the release, which includes over 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, all with redactions. The documents stem from investigations into Epstein's crimes, the Ghislaine Maxwell prosecution, inquiries into Epstein's death, and FBI investigations. The DOJ identified over 6 million potentially responsive pages, including emails, interview summaries, images, and videos. The release follows pressure on the Trump administration, which initially downplayed the files' significance before reversing course and signing the Transparency Act. The DOJ is also seeking to release additional materials currently under protective orders.
