DOJ Reportedly Having a Hard Time Finding Volunteers To Redact Epstein Files During Holidays

The Department of Justice is having a hard time finding people to volunteer to redact the Epstein Files as it gears up to continue releasing documents.

CNN detailed that DOJ leadership asked career prosecutors in Florida to volunteer to help over the "next several days" to help with the effort.

"We need AUSAs to do remote document review and redactions related to the Epstein files," reads a part of the message sent by DOJ officials.

The outlet noted that the email means there is a chance that more files will be released over the next days, including during Christmas and the New Year's holidays.

In fact, Axios also reported that administration officials estimate that they have about a week left before releasing all the files, with some 700,000 to go.

One of the documents that stood out is a message from Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's brother, telling the FBI he had reason to believe he was "murdered in his jail cell" because he was about to "name names."

The Miami Herald highlighted the tip to the FBI, which took place on February 22, 2023. There, Mark Epstein also said that Trump authorized the "murder."

The note did not elaborate further and the outlet was not able to determine immediately to see whether the FBI interviewed Mark Epstein and investigated the claim.
