DOJ Says Epstein Archive Yields 1 Million More Files, Further Releases Weeks Away

Overview

• Officials said SDNY and the FBI located more than one million additional documents potentially tied to Jeffrey Epstein, now under DOJ review.
• The DOJ stated the review and redaction process could take several weeks due to the volume and legal requirements to safeguard victim identities.
• More than 30,000 records were released on Tuesday, adding emails, complaints and death-related records to the public archive.
• FBI forensics determined a purported Epstein letter to Larry Nassar was a forgery, and the DOJ warned some submissions included false, sensational claims about President Trump ahead of the 2020 election.
• Released materials referenced alleged Brazilian victims in a 2019 FBI interview, as critics continue to fault the pace and scope of disclosures after the statutory deadline passed on December 19.
