Epstein survivors call for release of remaining files | BBC News

From BBC News.

Survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein appear in a new video calling for more files relating to the criminal investigation into the late financier to be released.

Millions of files relating to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been disclosed by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) since a law mandated their release last year.

However, some lawmakers have accused the DoJ of violating its legal obligations after it said it would not be able to release all the documents by the deadline.

Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, said "several hundred thousand" pages of documents were still being reviewed and had yet to be made public.

Many details in the thousands of files that have so far been released have also been heavily redacted. That has led to criticism, because under the law that compels the release of their files, the only material that can be blacked out is the identities of Epstein’s victims and any information under active criminal investigation.
