Advocates call for further disclosures after Trump’s justice department released more than 3m files last week
The release of about 3m Jeffrey Epstein investigative files has failed to quell outrage over justice department officials’ handling of these disclosures, with advocates claiming potentially millions of documents are still being withheld.
Donald Trump’s Department of Justice was required to disclose all investigative files by 19 December under The Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA). While the justice department did release some documents on that date, last week’s disclosure came nearly six weeks after this deadline.
The missed deadline and up to 3m files that remain unreleased have prompted criticism and calls for further disclosure to answer how Epstein sexually abused girls with impunity for decades and landed a sweetheart plea deal about 20 years ago that allowed him to avoid federal prosecution.


The only way for justice is to bring the crimes to light. The best way to honor the victims of abuse are to nail the perpetrators to the wall, and that is the only way to do that. And the files could be mostly released to media which then could redact sensitive information, but the files would be available to enough organizations/people that improper redactions to shield their favorites, looking at you NYTimes, would be caught, called out.
Yeah, that’s not what you said. You said the full unredacted files were the only way forward. And now you’re backtracking.
That doesn’t make any sense in context pal. Releasing the files is the only way forward, to free the blackmailed from Israel and everyone else holding that information over them. Anyone arguing to keep it secret is protecting the pedophile elite. Why would you do that? Why indeed. Don’t have to ask why that person would make an unfounded accusation to distract the issue, as they’ve no leg to stand on with reason to defend the rich not being outed for fucking children.
So it’s natural for those taking their cues from our politicians to make personal accusations however ill formed, to put the person on the defensive, it works with most people. But try to stay on topic old boy.
You’re the only one going off topic. You straight up said that releasing the full unredacted files was the only way forward. Releasing the full unredacted files means that all the CSAM would be unredacted too.
Even with context it means the same thing.
And I never said anything about keeping it secret. I support releasing everything and only redacting the victims.
Release to organizations to do the redacting I said.
Rather than allowing the government owned by the perpetrators to do the redacting.
Only a person obscuring the issue would take issue with my statement in a way that misidentifies what was said in a preceding comment as such.
No, that’s not at all what you said. You said, “Releasing the full UNREDACTED files is the only way forward.” No caveats.
Maybe you intended to say that they should be released to organizations to do the redacting, but that’s not what you said.
Why is it so hard for you to admit that you misspoke?
Ah ye nest of vipers, how can you speak truth when all you say is lies?
I’m lying by directly quoting you?
