The US Department of Justice has released an additional three million documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier who was convicted of sex trafficking in 2008. The massive trove of records comes after a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the Miami Herald.
According to sources, the newly released files are expected to shed more light on the handling of Epstein's case while he was being held at FCI Tallahassee, a maximum-security prison in Florida. Critics have long accused the justice department of mishandling Epstein's case, with some arguing that he was given preferential treatment due to his connections.
The Miami Herald reported in 2019 that then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions had taken a phone call from Prince Andrew, a close friend and associate of Epstein's, just days before the billionaire financier was arrested. The revelation sparked outrage and calls for greater transparency in the case.
Epstein died in prison in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. His death has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories, with some claiming that he was murdered due to his high-profile connections.
The release of the additional documents is seen as a major development in the Epstein saga, and comes ahead of an upcoming documentary series about the financier's life and death.

this new info on Jeffrey Epstein is wild! I'm all for transparency and accountability, but come on, it's been 7 yrs since he died in prison lol what took them so long to release these docs? I feel like we're still not getting the whole story here... I know some ppl think he got preferential treatment cuz of his connections, but let's not jump to conclusions just yet 
. It's like, we gotta give AG Jeff Sessions a break too, maybe they were trying 2 get closure on the case? And btw, those conspiracy theories tho... Epstein's death was definitely weird 
. Can't wait for that new documentary series to come out!
what if thats why epstein died in prison tho?? some ppl r saying hes murdered cuz of who hes connected to meh i dont no lol anyway, this is def a juicy development in the whole saga 
. These 3 million docs gotta give us some major answers now. I'm hoping for some real tea on the whole system being rigged in favor of rich ppl 
. And can we talk about how crazy Epstein got away with it all for so long? Like, what were they thinking? 
. This is gonna be a wild ride, I can feel it 
!
! Can you believe Sessions took a call from Prince Andrew right before Epstein was arrested? 
It's so sickening how he got special treatment just because of who his friends were 
. And don't even get me started on the conspiracy theories around his death 
... I'm low-key hoping this doc series will finally give us some real answers 
I mean, who gets to review documents from a max-security prison? It sounds like a recipe for cover-ups. 
. I'm not saying it's proof of anything, but come on, let's see some transparency here 
. This release is gonna be interesting... can't wait for those documentaries 
. Three million documents is a lotta records 
. It's gonna be interesting to see if they actually shed some light on what really went down in the Justice Dept. I mean, ppl have been saying that Jeff Sessions was all too cozy with Prince Andrew and it sounds like there's still some truth to that 
. But let's not forget Epstein's death - there are so many conspiracy theories surrounding that and it's gonna be wild to see how much of it gets revealed 
. I'm low-key hyped for the new docu series tho 
my grandma used to say that with great power comes great responsibility 
so yeah lets see what really goes down in these new docs
