DOJ Delays Epstein Files Release, Cites Million New Documents; Lawmakers Cry "Cover-Up"

• The Justice Department missed its congressionally mandated deadline to release Jeffrey Epstein's files, now needing "a few more weeks."
• DOJ claims federal prosecutors and the FBI "uncovered over a million more documents" related to the Epstein case, causing the delay.
• Lawmakers, including a bipartisan group of senators and Reps. Massie and Khanna, accuse the DOJ of a "cover-up" and breaking the law.
• Previous statements from DOJ and FBI indicated an "exhaustive review" and no additional evidence, making the new discovery an "11th-hour development."
• Released files have been heavily redacted, lacked context, and included new details like Trump's flights on Epstein's jet and emails hinting at Prince Andrew.
