US EditionDOJ says it will finish releasing Epstein files "in the near term," but doesn't offer specific date
The DOJ has reviewed and released over 100,000 pages but millions remain under review with redactions to protect victim identities, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the Department of Justice told Southern District judges it currently expects to complete publishing Epstein files in the near term but is not able to provide a specific date at this time.
- Because hundreds of DOJ attorneys and 100 document analysts review files manually, DOJ officials say daily calls, quality checks and coordination are needed to protect survivors and comply with the law.
- Earlier this month, the DOJ said it released 12,285 documents totaling 125,575 pages, while over two million documents remain in various stages of review and over 100,000 pages have been publicly released so far.
- Seeking court oversight, lawmakers asked Judge Paul A. Engelmayer to appoint an independent monitor after Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna called the missed Dec. 19 deadline a 'flagrant violation,' but he denied the request citing limited authority.
- Despite a Dec. 19, 2025 statutory deadline, the DOJ began releases hours before but missed the date, leaving millions of Epstein files unreleased with potential duplicates.
