5.2 Million Epstein Files: DOJ Deploys 400 Lawyers

A massive disclosure tied to one of America’s most notorious scandals is now facing a major delay.

The U.S. Justice Department says it still has 5.2 million pages of Jeffrey Epstein–related documents left to review—and has mobilized 400 lawyers across multiple agencies to handle the task.

The revelation raises new questions about transparency, accountability, and when the public will finally see the full scope of the Epstein files.

STORY BODY

According to a government document reviewed by Reuters, the Justice Department will need attorneys from four separate offices—the Criminal Division, National Security Division, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan—to complete the Epstein files review.

The review period is scheduled to run from January 5 through January 23, far past the December 19 deadline set by Congress under a newly passed transparency law.

That law, approved with bipartisan support, requires all Epstein-related records to be made public, with redactions only to protect victims.

WHY THE DELAY

Department leaders say the sheer volume of material is the problem.

Each participating lawyer is expected to spend three to five hours per day, reviewing roughly 1,000 documents daily. To encourage participation, the DOJ is offering telework options and time-off incentives.

Last week, the department disclosed it had uncovered more than one million additional documents potentially linked to Epstein—further complicating the process.

POLITICAL PRESSURE GROWS

So far, the document releases have been heavily redacted, frustrating some Republican lawmakers and failing to quiet a scandal that now threatens to spill into the 2026 midterm elections.

The White House and the Justice Department declined to immediately comment on the newly revealed timeline.

TRUMP CONNECTION & BACKGROUND

The Trump administration ordered the Justice Department to comply with the transparency law, despite former President Donald Trump’s previous efforts to keep the files sealed.

Trump has acknowledged knowing Epstein socially in the 1990s and early 2000s but has said their relationship ended long before Epstein’s legal troubles escalated. Trump has repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Epstein was convicted in Florida in 2008 and later charged federally with sex trafficking in 2019. He was found dead in a New York jail later that year, a death ruled a suicide.

DOJ STATEMENT

In a post shared on X last week, the Justice Department said:

“We have lawyers working around the clock to review and make the legally required redactions to protect victims. Due to the mass volume of material, this process may take a few more weeks.”

For now, millions of pages remain unseen, and questions continue to mount.

As lawmakers, victims’ advocates, and the public wait, the Epstein files—long promised, long delayed—remain one of the most closely watched disclosures in modern U.S. justice history.
