US authorities have unearthed over a million more documents potentially linked to late financier Jeffrey Epstein, paving the way for their release in the coming days and weeks. The Department of Justice (DoJ) confirmed the discovery, with officials assuring that lawyers are working diligently to review and redact sensitive information to protect victims. While the exact timing of the document release is uncertain, federal prosecutors have pledged to comply with President Trump’s directive to share all relevant files.
As part of the ongoing investigation into Epstein’s crimes, which include allegations of sex trafficking minors, authorities are now scrutinizing new evidence that could shed light on potential co-conspirators. Emails and internal communications detailing investigations and decisions related to Epstein have also been released, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of the case.
Lawmakers from both parties have expressed frustration over the lack of transparency in the DoJ’s handling of the case, with some accusing the White House of ‘illegally’ withholding documents. The Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed by President Trump last month, mandates that the agency release all relevant files while protecting sensitive information.
The revelation comes as authorities continue to investigate Epstein’s associates and potential co-conspirators in the case. As the release of these new documents approaches, it is likely to shed more light on the Epstein saga and its ongoing implications.
