US DOJ to review 5.2 million pages of Epstein files, document shows

Dec 30 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department revealed it has 5.2 million pages of Epstein files left to review and needs 400 lawyers from four different department offices to help with the process ​through late January, according to a government document reviewed by Reuters on Tuesday.

This is likely to ‌extend the final release of the documents to much later than expected after a December 19 deadline set by Congress, the document said.

The White ‌House and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

The Trump administration ordered the Justice Department to release the files tied to criminal probes of Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender, who was friends with U.S. President Donald Trump in the 1990s, in compliance with a transparency law passed by Congress last month.

I thought they already did that trying to redact Trump's name?
