The Justice Department said it is releasing a sprawling new trove of documents Friday tied to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, more than a month after the department blew through a statutory deadline to produce the documents.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a news conference that more than 3 million additional pages, including more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, would be published throughout the day.
The department, in a letter to Congress also released Friday, said the release “marks the Department’s compliance with its production obligations” under a law Congress passed last year that ordered the release of documents and investigative materials related to Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
