The US Justice Department has acknowledged the discovery of more than one million additional documents potentially connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, sharply extending the timeline for public disclosure and deepening political controversy over transparency and redaction practices.
The revelation comes as the department fails to meet a December 19 deadline mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a law passed by Congress and signed by Trump to force the release of nearly all investigative records related to Epstein's prosecutions and associated investigations.
