Justice Department drops shocking Epstein news - Brian Tyler Cohen



Legal Breakdown Ep. 644 - Justice Department announces another million Epstein files.

Summary of Epstein Files Update

The Department of Justice has discovered 1 million additional Epstein-related documents at the Southern District of New York US Attorney's Office, despite FBI Director Kash Patel previously claiming in July that an "exhaustive search" had uncovered all 700,000 documents.

Key Points:

Legal Violation: The DOJ is now in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which required all documents to be released publicly by December 19th. However, the law has no enforcement mechanism or penalties attached.

Document Significance: These newly discovered documents are believed to be highly relevant, as they come from the office that actually prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Previously released materials revealed prosecutors had identified 10 co-conspirators who have never been held accountable.

Controversial Response: The DOJ has enlisted federal prosecutors from South Florida (Trump's home state) to review the documents and suggest redactions, rather than using nearby offices in DC, Maryland, or Virginia—a decision the speakers find suspicious.

Redaction Concerns: The speakers note that 16 files visible on day one were later redacted, including some containing Trump's picture, raising questions about whether redactions are being used to protect Trump rather than serve transparency.

The speakers express skepticism about the DOJ's competence and motives, though they remain somewhat optimistic that having more prosecutors involved may prevent complete suppression of damaging information.
