The Department of Justice on Friday released the last batch of files on late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The DOJ said that it completed its review of the files, publicly releasing 3 million additional documents, The Hill reported.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told reporters on Friday that the batch being released will be one of the last steps required under a law enacted last year that included the publication of the files related to Epstein.
“Today’s release marks the end of a very comprehensive documentation – document 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 act will be completed,” Blanche said.
