The Department of Justice on Friday is releasing three million additional pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with 2,000 videos and about 180,000 images, a top DOJ official said.

The large release comes after weeks of criticism that the DOJ was not complying with the requirement under federal law that all files related to the notorious sex offender Epstein be publicly released.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Friday the DOJ was not releasing the rest of the more than 6 million total pages that have been identified as potentially responsive to the Epstein Transparency Act.

He said that no more documents would be released.

“We complied with the statute,” Blanche said. “We complied with the Act. We did not protect President Trump … or anybody.”

President Donald Trump had been friends with Epstein for years before the two men had a falling out in the mid-2000s.

“There’s not some tranche of super-secret documents about Jeffrey Epstein that we’re withholding,” Blanche said at a press conference.
