Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer sharply criticized the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday after top department officials signaled they would not meet the legal deadline to release all records related to Jeffrey Epstein, calling the move a clear violation of federal law.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed to Fox News that the DOJ would publish "several hundred thousand documents" related to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, but that a significant portion of materials would be held back and released in the coming weeks instead of by today's statutory deadline. Blanche added that he expects "that we're going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks."
