In the Case of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein Not all investigation files are published at the same time. Although the deadline for publishing the documents ends this Friday, only part of them will initially be made accessible, said Deputy US Attorney General Todd Blanche. Blanche told Fox News that several hundred thousand documents would be released later in the day; “And in the next few weeks there will probably be several hundred thousand more.”

According to Blanche, the protection of the victims is the reason for the action. Every single document must be designed in such a way that the identity of the victims is protected.

More transparency through publication of the files

Exactly a month ago was the Justice Department was obligated by the US Congress to release the Epstein investigation files. The aim is to do this in this case to create more transparency. The deadline was December 19th.

The New York multimillionaire Epstein was part of influential circles in the USA for many years. He ran an abuse ring for years. Numerous young women and minors were trafficked to celebrities and thus became victims of abuse. Epstein himself is also said to have abused women and girls.

There are numerous conspiracy stories surrounding Epstein and his death in 2019. Officials said he died by suicide in his prison cell before he could be tried.
