The US Justice Department on Friday said that it has begun releasing a massive tranche of records linked to the investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The department said that it would make public more than three million pages of documents, along with 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.
Announcing the release, deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that the department had completed its review of the Epstein-related records and would disclose the material through the day. The release follows months of mounting pressure from lawmakers, courts and the public over how and when the files should be made public, according to CNN.
