DOJ court filing admits 2 million Epstein documents remain unreleased
A DOJ court filing on January 6, 2026 acknowledged that more than 2 million documents responsive to the Epstein Files Transparency Act remained under review and had not been released to the public. The disclosure revealed DOJ had identified over 6 million pages as potentially responsive to the law but had released far fewer. The filing came weeks before Deputy AG Todd Blanche would publicly declare the department in full compliance with the Act.
