Overview
- Justice Department estimates roughly 5.2 million pages remain to be reviewed in the Epstein records, far exceeding earlier counts.
- More than 400 attorneys from Main Justice, the FBI, the Southern District of New York, and the Southern District of Florida are detailed to the review.
- Internal timelines indicate the next public releases around Jan. 20–23, pushing the rolling process weeks past the Dec. 19 mandate.
- Initial disclosures of about 100,000 heavily redacted pages have prompted bipartisan criticism and heightened congressional oversight.
- Officials warn that some items in the trove are fake or lack evidentiary value and say required redactions focus on protecting victims.
