Over million new documents in Epstein case discovered in US, - BBC

Epstein

In the United States, over a million previously unknown documents have been found that may be related to the case of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

BBC writes about this, according to Censor.NET.

The Ministry of Justice stated that the process of preparing documents for publication could take "a few more weeks" as they require legal review.

The agency's statement notes: "We have lawyers working around the clock to review and make the legally required redactions to protect victims, and we will release the documents as soon as possible." 

The Ministry of Justice stressed it would "continue to fully comply with federal law and President Trump's direction to release the files".

At the same time, the statement does not specify under what circumstances the FBI and prosecutors in the Southern District of New York discovered additional materials.

The Jeffrey Epstein case — what we know

  • On July 18, The Wall Street Journal reported that Donald Trump may have written an obscene congratulatory letter to Jeffrey Epstein. The letter was included in an album that Epstein's then-partner Ghislaine Maxwell prepared for his 50th birthday in 2003.
  • Trump denies writing such a letter. Later, his representatives filed a $10 billion lawsuit in federal court in Miami over the publication of the material.
  • On November 12, the US Democratic Party published other letters from Epstein, which claim that Trump knew about the underage girls whom the financier was accused of abusing.
