The public was told that no more Epstein files would be forthcoming.
Officials implied the only Epstein-related documents left were “child porn” that could, of course, not be released. The Justice Department, in a memo released on Sunday, said, “no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted” about the Epstein case involving the sexual trafficking of children.
But one pending FOIA appeal by two litigants in New York, that the DOJ’s Maureen Comey is due to respond to later this month, has identified at least 11,571 more FBI documents alone related to the Epstein affair, almost all of them as-of-yet unreleased.
This is in addition to the estimated 3 million documents the government gave to Ghislaine Maxwell to prepare for her defense, and they are still active in that case.
The ongoing litigation relates to Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) requests filed by media entities to release Epstein-related documents. The litigation filed by Radar Online and James Robertson over a FOIA originally filed eight years ago involves over 11,571 documents that the FBI already admits are responsive to a search for Epstein documents.
