Epstein Files Spark Outcry as Millions Remain Hidden

The Justice Department released about 3–3.5 million Epstein investigative pages under the Epstein Files Transparency Act but missed the December deadline, fueling renewed accusations that millions more records remain withheld and accountability is eluding victims and lawmakers. DoJ officials say they identified over 6 million potentially responsive pages, but many were deemed duplicates or non-responsive, with redactions and explanations published; critics—victims’ advocates, judges’ allies, and FOIA plaintiffs—call it a cover-up and are pressing for fuller disclosure, including details on immunity deals and the 2007 probe.
