Justice Department drops more documents in Epstein investigation

What we know so far

• JUST IN: The Justice Department released more files related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein today. We are going through the documents now and will share information as we learn more.

• Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is holding a news conference now at the Justice Department. He said documents being released today number more than 3 million pages, including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.

• The department estimated earlier this month that it had released less than 1% of its Epstein-related files. Congress had given the department a deadline of December 19, 2025, to release all of its files about Epstein.

Any sort of reference to Trump or any of his cronies will be censored.

Anything related to Trump will not be known until a Democrat is president, imo.
