So far, only 12,000 documents containing 125,000 pages have been released in three tranches.

More than 2 million files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are still to be released, according to a court filling Monday night from the Department of Justice which said a team of 400 lawyers was reviewing the documents to ensure “victim privacy.”

The filing also said the department would review its procedures for evaluating the files after victims complained that some information posted should have been redacted.

The DOJ filing confirms reporting from NBC News last week that millions of files were being reviewed before their planned release. So far, only 12,000 documents containing 125,000 pages have been released in three tranches.

    Why are you phrasing this as if it hasn’t already come out that he’s a child rapist? It seems to me that we’ve known that for years

      We have “known” that for years (guilt by association with Epstein), but we haven’t known with verifiable evidence.

        They are already tossing in fake evidence in the files so they can say that real evidence is bogus. They already posted two fake files that I know of.

        I’m trying to imagine what sort of evidence would be sufficient to convince the majority of his base… The “fake” deflect is too strong now with fake videos and audio being so easy to create.
