US Justice Department begins releasing government Epstein files
Al Jazeera
While thousands of documents are expected to be made public, the release falls short of the full Epstein file.
The United States Department of Justice has begun to release part of its trove of files documenting the life and crimes of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
But Friday’s much anticipated release is expected to fall short of the full publication of the Epstein file mandated under a recently passed law.
Earlier in the day, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche warned that some documents would be delayed, in order to ensure the privacy of Epstein’s victims.
“I expect that we’re going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks,” Blanche told Fox News.
“So today, several hundred thousand, and then, over the next couple of weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more.”
