The United States Department of Justice is set to release “several hundred thousand” pages of files in relation to the case of late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on Friday (December 19), with additional material following in the coming days, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed during an appearance on FOX & Friends.
“We’re going to release several hundred thousand documents today, and those documents will come in all different forms, photographs and other materials associated with all of the investigations into, into Mr. Epstein,” Blanche said.
“Now, the most important thing that the attorney general [Pam Bondi] has talked about, that [FBI] Director [Kash] Patel has talked about is that we protect victims,” he added. “And so what we’re doing is, we are looking at every single piece of paper that we are going to produce, making sure that every victim — their name, their identity, their story, to the extent these are protected — is completely protected.
“And so I expect that we’re going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks. So today, several hundred thousand. And then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more.”
President Donald Trump announced he signed a bill to compel the U.S. Justice Department to release files related to Epstein in a post shared on his Truth Social account on November 19 amid public scrutiny for his past relationship with the convicted pedophile. Trump’s lengthy post attempted to tie Epstein to the Democrats, days after publicly urging Republicans to vote in favor of the release of the full Justice Department files related to Epstein, changing his previous stance on the files being released.
The president had called on Attorney General Bondi to investigate Epstein’s ties to prominent Democratic officials and banks like JP Morgan days after his own name was mentioned in emails sent by the late convicted pedophile.
“We have released over 33,000 Epstein documents to the Hill, and we will continue to follow the law and to have maximum transparency. Also, we will always encourage all victims to come forward,” Bondi said at a November news conference alongside FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and others on an unrelated issue via ABC News.
