Justice Department needs a “few more weeks” to release all Epstein documents

The Justice Department says authorities have uncovered “over a million more documents” related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a Christmas Eve announcement, the DOJ said it may need a “few more weeks” to release all of its records on Epstein. It further delays compliance with last week’s congressionally mandated deadline to make all the files public. The news came as a surprise after department officials suggested months ago that a comprehensive review of the documents had taken place. A dozen U-S senators have called on the Justice Department’s watchdog to examine its failure to meet the deadline.
