Justice Department Reveals Minimal Epstein Documents Released
The Department of Justice (DoJ) has said they still have millions of files about Jeffrey Epstein to check.
They've only released a tiny bit so far, which has made some people upset.
Democrats think the Trump administration is trying to hide things, but the DoJ says they're working hard to protect private information.
The files are about Epstein's alleged bad actions and might include names of important people.
Some politicians want a special person to make sure all the files are released.
The DoJ has released less than 1% of Jeffrey Epstein documents, with over 2 million still under review.
The initial deadline for release was December 19, but the process is delayed due to the complexity of the review.
Democrats, including Rep. Ro Khanna, accuse the Trump administration of deliberately delaying the release to protect potentially damaging information.
The DoJ asserts that over 400 lawyers are working to review the documents, citing the need to redact sensitive information and protect victims' identities.
The Epstein files are expected to reveal information about his associates and the extent of his alleged sex trafficking activities.
