URGENT UPDATE: Major revelations concerning the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Jeffrey Epstein have emerged, sparking intense scrutiny. Lawyer and senior writer for Politico, Ankush Khardori, confronted the DOJ on Saturday regarding a significant contradiction that has not received adequate attention.
While the DOJ is currently mandated by law to release its Epstein files in a phased manner, a leaked memo from June revealed that the agency had previously attempted to halt further investigations into Epstein, claiming it had reviewed all relevant documents. However, on Christmas Eve, the DOJ announced an astonishing discovery of “a million more documents” related to Epstein, necessitating additional time for proper review and redaction.
Appearing on CNN, Khardori expressed disbelief at the DOJ’s claims, stating, “How is it possible for the DOJ to just find a million new documents?” He emphasized that this contradiction raises serious questions about the agency’s credibility. Khardori pointed out that the Trump Administration’s DOJ had insisted that they had thoroughly reviewed all documents before declaring there was nothing more to investigate.
The newly uncovered documents were reportedly sourced from the Southern District of New York, where Epstein’s associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, was prosecuted for sex trafficking. Khardori suggested that the only logical explanation for the DOJ’s oversight is “incompetence.” He stated, “If a corporate defendant waited until the last day to respond to a subpoena and then claimed to have missed a million documents, the Justice Department would go ballistic. This reflects poorly on the DOJ’s handling of this case.”
As the situation develops, the implications of the DOJ’s handling of Epstein-related documents could have far-reaching effects on ongoing investigations and public trust in the agency. Legal experts and advocates for justice are closely monitoring the situation, urging transparency and accountability.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story unfolds. The ramifications of this revelation are significant, and public interest remains high as more details emerge.
