The Department of Justice released millions<\/a> of files Friday afternoon on Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s case, the latest document dump from the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

The document release includes 3.5 million<\/a> additional files related to Epstein, including more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 photos.<\/p>\n

The files included Ghislaine Maxwell\u2019s booking photos, her home search warrants and many uncorroborated tips to law enforcement, including some that mention President Donald Trump. Records related to Epstein\u2019s time in federal prison are also included, like psychological evaluations<\/a> from July and early August 2019, before he was found dead in his cell.<\/p>\n

At least one file<\/a> was removed from the portal after publication, but was made accessible again. The file seems to describe tips to the FBI related to Epstein, some of which name Trump. A DOJ spokesperson told NOTUS that the file was temporarily \u201cdown due to overload.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of Epstein\u2019s victims told the press Friday<\/a> that their names were not redacted in the published files.<\/p>\n

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a press conference Friday morning that \u201cmistakes are inevitable.\u201d He also said that there are documents being withheld from release because of active investigations. He also said the DOJ has 6 million documents total.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe categories of documents withheld include those permitted under the act to be withheld,\u201d Blanche said during the press conference. \u201cCongress, in their wisdom, allowed us to withhold documents if there were ongoing criminal investigations.\u201d<\/p>\n

This release of files comes more than a month<\/a> after one from late December, which included mentions of Trump. The files are coming months after the president signed a bipartisan measure passed by Congress compelling the DOJ to release all the files within 30 days, a mandate the department has not honored.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DOJ said it identified over 6 million potentially responsive pages but is releasing only about 3.5 million after review and redactions. This raises questions as to why the rest are being withheld. I will be reviewing closely to see if they release what I\u2019ve been pushing for,\u201d Rep. Ro Khanna<\/a>, coauthor of the bipartisan measure, wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n

He wrote that within this release of files from the DOJ, he\u2019s looking for victim interview statements, a draft indictment from Epstein\u2019s 2007 investigation in Florida, and \u201chundreds of thousands of emails and files from Epstein\u2019s computers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFailing to release these files only shields the powerful individuals who were involved and hurts the public\u2019s trust in our institutions,\u201d Khanna wrote.<\/p>\n

Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement Friday that the DOJ should release all the files.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump and his Department of Justice have now made it clear that they intend to withhold roughly 50% of the Epstein files, while claiming to have fully complied with the law. This is outrageous and incredibly concerning,\u201d he said in the statement. \u201cWe will begin a thorough review of this latest limited production, but let\u2019s be clear: our work and investigation are just getting started.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Department of Justice released millions of files Friday afternoon on Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s case, the latest document dump…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":439529,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,3,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":{"0":"post-439528","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-united-states-of-america","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","14":"tag-us","15":"tag-usa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=439528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/439529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=439528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=439528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=439528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
