The Department of Justice said it has plans to release the full Epstein files in the “near term” and those will include audio and video files, according to a report Wednesday.
The files, which have not been released by the DOJ in full long after the legal deadline, still don’t have a “clear date” for when they will be available to the public “as other developments with the Trump administration garner widespread attention,” Axios reported.
Hundreds of DOJ employees have reportedly reviewed and redacted millions of pages and materials, according to a Tuesday filing from Attorney General Pam Bondi, deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton. The DOJ has claimed the redactions and other efforts have been made to protect Epstein survivors.
The DOJ released thousands of files in December, including court documents and photos, related to Epstein’s crimes that remained sealed for years after significant legal pressure and public demand. The wealthy financier and convicted sex offender operated an extensive trafficking network targeting underage girls, and following his death in jail in 2019.
The files have contained detailed information about his victims, co-conspirators and associates, including the names of prominent individuals connected to his trafficking operation, sparking renewed scrutiny of his network and raising questions about potential accomplices who may have aided in his crimes.
