The Justice Department has announced that the full release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case will be delayed beyond the original deadline set by Congress. Officials cited the discovery of over a million additional potentially relevant documents by the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI as the reason for the setback.
The Department of Justice maintains that lawyers are working diligently to review and redact the documents as required by law. They anticipate the process will take several more weeks due to the large volume of material. The department stated that the documents will be released as soon as possible. This delay follows bipartisan calls for transparency in the Epstein case, with many hoping the released documents will shed light on the full extent of the network involved and ensure accountability.
