The Justice Department released a trove of investigative documents on deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, with the department’s second-in-command indicating the records would only represent a partial disclosure of those available.
The comments from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche quickly drew outrage from congressional Democrats, who accused the department of violating a federal law that ordered the release of all of the records by the Friday deadline.
A spot on the DOJ website called “Epstein Library” listed downloads of hundreds of documents ― files that include investigative documents and pictures. Some are expected to have redactions to comply with part of the law protecting victim information.
