Digital Desk, New Delhi. The US Justice Department on Friday made public a large portion of its investigative records related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This disclosure has been made under the law, which aims to reveal what the government knew about the sexual exploitation of minor girls and Epstein's relations with rich and powerful people.
According to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, more than 3 million pages of documents have been released in this phase. The files have been posted on the Justice Department's website and include records that were withheld in the initial release in December.
52 lakh pages are being reviewed
This disclosure has been made under the 'Epstein Files Transparency Act', which was passed after prolonged public and political pressure. After missing a December 19 deadline set by Congress, the department said it had hired hundreds of lawyers to review the 5.2 million pages, keeping important sections confidential to protect the identities of victims and ongoing investigations.
Earlier, in the thousands of pages released just before Christmas, many of the documents were either already public or heavily redacted. These files also include flight logs from the 1990s, in which the names of Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton were revealed.
Epstein committed suicide in 2019
However, both are not accused of any wrongdoing and have denied the knowledge. Epstein committed suicide in prison in 2019. In 2021, her associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking and is serving a 20-year sentence.
