As a result, additional document releases will be delayed until officials redact the details to protect victims, the ministry said Wednesday.
President Donald Trump’s administration has begun releasing documents related to criminal investigations into Epstein, the late American financier who was a friend of Trump’s in the 1990s, to comply with a law passed by Congress last month.
Republicans and Democrats in Congress passed the bill over Trump’s objections, requiring all documents to be released by Dec. 19 and allowing partial redactions to protect victims.
Past announcement packages have been heavily redacted, angering some Republicans and doing little to calm the scandal that threatens the party ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
In a message shared on social media Wednesday, the Justice Department said the FBI and the US attorney’s office in Manhattan had discovered more than a million additional documents potentially linked to Epstein, without elaborating on when or how the documents were found.
“We have prosecutors working around the clock to review and make legally prescribed redactions to protect the victims, and we will release the documents as soon as possible,” the department said.
‘Due to the large amount of material, this process may take several more weeks.’
