Overview
- The Justice Department says the FBI and the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office located roughly one million additional Epstein-related pages in New York.
- The publication process remains erratic, with files posted, removed, and later reuploaded during the four‑week release window set by the House.
- Reporters showed many PDF redactions could be reversed, exposing sensitive content including financial irregularities and nearly $500,000 in payments to models by Epstein estate administrators.
- Officials cite victim protection for extensive redactions, while several victims’ lawyers say they were contacted only hours before the deadline about what to shield.
- Political tensions escalated as critics alleged selective handling of high‑profile names, the department labeled a purported Epstein letter about President Trump fake, and Trump attacked Democrats on Truth Social.
