Overview
- In a Monday court filing, the Justice Department reported more than 2 million potentially responsive Epstein documents in various stages of review and redaction.
- The department has released about 12,285 documents totaling roughly 125,575 pages so far, which it says is less than 1% of what may be subject to disclosure.
- Roughly 400 DOJ attorneys and over 100 FBI analysts are assigned to the effort, and procedures are being refined after dozens of victim requests for additional redactions.
- Officials disclosed on Dec. 24 that over 1 million additional items were identified, many likely duplicative but still requiring processing and deduplication.
- Lawmakers are escalating pressure, with Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie seeking a court-appointed special master and criticizing missed deadlines, including the lapse in explaining redactions.
