Trump’s Justice Department releases final batch of Epstein files

AI Summary

short article 1 min

The US Justice Department released its final batch of millions of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, fulfilling a law passed in November requiring the release of all Epstein-related records. This final cache, containing over 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images, concludes the Trump administration's planned releases. The files include extensive redactions to protect victims' identities and ongoing investigations, as permitted by the law. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the slow release pace, citing the need for thorough review by hundreds of lawyers. While the law initially set a deadline of December 19, 2025, officials stated more time was needed. Former President Trump, who had a past association with Epstein, initially resisted the release until Congress advanced the law.
