Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a news conference Friday that the Department of Justice will be releasing up to 3.5 million pages of investigative material on deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

The files include at least 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, not all of which were taken by Epstein, according to the deputy AG.

“They include large quantities of commercial pornography and images that were seized from Epstein’s devices, but which he did not take, or that someone around him did not take,” noted Blanche.

“Some of the videos, though, and some of the images do appear to be taken by Mr. Epstein or by others, or around him.”

Members of the DOJ and FBI have been workiing “full time” to put out the documents, photos and videos to comply with a law passed by Congress and signed by President Trump late last year.

“We are also releasing today a letter we are transmitting to Congress and various internal protocols associated with our review,” Blanche added, citing it would include the “legal basis” for any redactions.
