The US Department of Justice announced this week that it had received from the FBI and a New York inspector around a million new documents presumably linked to the case of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein which will have to be examined before making them public. “We have lawyers working around the clock to review and execute the legally required measures to protect victims and we will release the documents as soon as possible. Due to the large volume of material, this process could take a few more weeks,” he detailed in a message on social media.
A law approved by Congress last November required Donald Trump’s administration to release on December 19 all unclassified documentation on the case of Epstein, who committed suicide in prison in 2019. The Justice Department, without an embargo, today released only part of the files, including several photos of former Democratic President Bill Clinton against Epstein, arguing that the amount of information was too high and that it needed time to review everything the content, which sparked criticism from the Democratic opposition and victims.
In a new match published this month, the name of Trump appears several times, who traveled on the financial tycoon’s private plane several times, but there is no evidence that he participated in his sex crimes. Second, the Justice Department, led by Inspector General Pam Bondi, was revealed this year, and the FBI and the Tax Office of the Southern District of New York discovered “more than a million additional documents, possibly related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.”
The department pledged to review them and continue to “comply fully with federal law and President Trump’s order to release the records.” At first, Trump did not support the release of the Epstein documents, with whom he maintained a friendship until 2004, long before he was accused of prostitution of minors, but the representative had to rectify and confirm the law after proving the strong support he had in Congress.
