US Justice Dept says millions of Epstein files still not released

The department began releasing documents from the decades-long investigation into the late disgraced financier last month, but failed to meet the December 19 deadline mandated under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. In a letter Monday to a federal judge, DOJ officials said more than two million documents remained "in various phases of review." About 12,285 documents comprising more than 125,000 pages, the letter said, had already been publicly released in response to the law -- less than one percent of the tranche currently in review.
