New Epstein files fail to quell outrage as advocates claim documents are being withheld

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.
