NEW YORK (AP) The Justice Department on Friday released many more records from its investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein, resuming disclosures under a law intended to reveal what the government knew about the millionaire financiers sexual abuse of young girls and his interactions with the rich and powerful.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the department was releasing more than 3 million pages of documents in the latest Epstein disclosure, as well as more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. The files, posted to the departments website, include some of the several million pages of records that officials said were withheld from an initial release of documents in December.
They were disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the law enacted after months of public and political pressure that requires the government to open its files on the late financier and his confidant and onetime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Todays release marks the end of a very comprehensive document identification and review process to ensure transparency to the American people and compliance with the act, Blanche said at a news conference announcing the disclosure.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The Justice Department on Friday released many more records from its investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein, resuming disclosures under a law intended to reveal what the government knew about the millionaire financier's sexual abuse of young girls and his interactions with the rich and powerful.
The files, posted to the department's website, include some of the several million pages of records that officials said were withheld from an initial release of documents in December.
They were disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the law enacted after months of public and political pressure that requires the government to open its files on the late financier and his confidant and onetime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.
After missing a Dec. 19 deadline set by Congress to release all of the files, the Justice Department said it tasked hundreds of lawyers with reviewing the records to determine what needs to be redacted, or blacked out, to protect the identities of victims of sexual abuse. The number of documents subject to review has ballooned to 5.2 million, including duplicates, the department said.

(40,532 posts)I did a search for "Little Saint James" and a bunch of listings come up. Also "Saint James" search works too, but you get "Greater" Saint James documents included.
There are many documents that aren't very interesting, but if it contains the word "Beneficiary" then it's a banking memo. Many good ones there. I don't know how to search for the most recent documents, I think they're all mixed together.

I'm still astounded that it took an act of Congress to get this far.

What is sadly astounding however, is that when they do release stuff and it gets posted on DU after many many calls to "release the Epstein files", the threads get a yawn response.
