New Epstein files fail to quell outrage as advocates claim documents are being withheld
AI Summary
The Justice Department released approximately 3 million Jeffrey Epstein investigative files, fulfilling a requirement of The Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA) after a six-week delay. Advocates, however, claim that potentially millions of documents are still being withheld, despite the DOJ initially identifying over 6 million pages as potentially responsive. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated the release marks the end of a comprehensive review process, but critics argue the unreleased files hinder a full understanding of how Epstein evaded justice for decades and secured a lenient plea deal. Victims' representatives express continued outrage, asserting the government failed them repeatedly and continues to avoid accountability. They emphasize the need for files detailing Epstein's immunity, not just his crimes.
