BREAKING: DOJ to release 3 MILLION docs, 2000 videos in Epstein case

The Department of Justice is set to release over 3 million files and 2,000 videos related to the case against infamous financier Jeffrey Epstein, including commercial pornography as well as material that was shot by Epstein and those around him.

"Today, we are producing more than 3 million pages, including more than 2000 videos and 180,000 images in total, that means that the department produced approximately three and a half million pages in compliance with the act. Just a quick note about the videos and images. The 2000 videos and 180,000 images are not all videos and images taken by Mr. Epstein or someone around him. They include large quantities of commercial pornography and images that were seized from Epstein's devices but which he did not take, or that someone around him did not take," Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a press conference.

"Some of the videos, though, and some of the images do appear to be taken by Mr. Epstein or by others around him," he added. The pornographic images and videos that were released also include redactions of victims.

"In addition to the documentary redactions, which includes personal identifying information, victim information and other privileges, there is extensive redactions to images and videos to protect victims. We redacted every woman depicted in any image or video, with the exception of Ms. Maxwell," he said. "We did not redact images of any men unless it was impossible to redact the woman without also redacting the man."

Blanche explained the limited number of exceptions for the documents and other files that were not released under the law that forced the extensive release of the files. 

"Today's release marks the end of a very comprehensive documentation, identification, and review process to ensure transparency to the American people and compliance with the act, the department has engaged in an unprecedented and extensive effort to do so. After submitting the final report to Congress, as required under the Act, and publishing the written justifications for redactions in the Federal Register, the department's obligations under the under the Act will be will be completed," Blanche said.
