FBI uncovers more than one million additional Epstein documents
U.S. authorities have announced that they have uncovered more than one million additional documents potentially related to the investigation of late financier Jeffrey Epstein, significantly expanding the volume of material that still needs to be reviewed and released to the public. The discovery was confirmed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which said the additional records were located by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as part of the ongoing effort to comply with federal law requiring full disclosure of Epstein-related files.
The newly uncovered documents are expected to add substantially to the trove of records already made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a law enacted by Congress to ensure that all unclassified material connected to the Epstein case is released. DOJ officials said the department has received the files and is now working to review and redact sensitive information, particularly to protect the identities of victims, before the documents can be published. Because of the sheer scale of the material, the review process is likely to take several more weeks, delaying the full release beyond original deadlines.
The announcement of the additional documents comes amid broader scrutiny of the ongoing release of Epstein-related materials. Earlier batches of documents that have already been made public included photos, court records, emails, flight logs and other files related to Epstein’s criminal activities and his network of associates. The discovery of a million more potential records highlights both the complexity of the investigation and the challenges authorities face in managing and disclosing such a large volume of sensitive material.
