US Justice Dept. Releases More Jeffrey Epstein Files Amid Transparency Push

• The US Justice Department released a new set of investigative records on Jeffrey Epstein, following an initial release in December.
• The documents are part of millions of pages being made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, enacted due to public pressure.
• The law aimed to reveal what authorities knew about Epstein's sexual abuse of underage girls and his connections to powerful figures.
• The Justice Department missed a December 19 deadline for full release, citing the scale of records and the need to protect victims.
• Previous releases included flight logs with Donald Trump and photographs of Bill Clinton, neither accused of wrongdoing; Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence.

Why It Matters: The US Justice Department continues to release Jeffrey Epstein files, facing scrutiny over past handling and transparency.
