US authorities have discovered more than a million more documents potentially related to the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein that they plan to release in the coming days and weeks, officials say.
The US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the FBI have informed the Department of Justice (DoJ) about the discovery and turned over the documents for lawyers to review.
"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 DoJ said on social media on Wednesday.
The department said that given the volume of material, the process could take "a few more weeks".
The agency said it would "continue to fully comply with federal law and President Trump's direction to release the files".
The statement did not specify how the FBI and New York prosecutors came across the additional material.

I'm pretty sure they'll run into conflicts there.

Are US citizens actually aware that this affair already allows only one conclusion, namely that the US is a banana republic where the law counts for absolutely nothing, a nation controlled by organized crime of the worst kind?

Wow, an extra MILLION documents that no one at DOJ knew about? Let’s hope whoever turned it over from SDNY knows which docs are the juiciest that shouldn’t have certain things redacted, and keeps track of how the DOJ handles them - seems like it could be quite the trap for our dishonest administration. Redacted properly and damn Trump, or continue redacting improperly with someone who can quickly and effectively call them on it.

"Biden" has the same number of letters.
