The US Department of Justice (DoJ) released its latest tranche of files on Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday, continuing a stream of released information that began on Friday, the deadline mandated in a law that required the department to publicly release all of its investigative files into the late convicted sex offender. The 11,000-plus documents were released, despite many being redacted with names and information blacked out, including names of people who the FBI appears to cite as possible co-conspirators in the Epstein case.

The DoJ is facing criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle over the amount of redactions in its files. The new law specifically states that redactions can only be done to protect the identity of victims or active criminal investigations. According to lawmakers, the DoJ's decision to redact information is a clear breach of the law. "The DoJ's actions are a slap in the face to the American people," said Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon. "The public has a right to know the truth about the Epstein case, and it's unacceptable that the DoJ is hiding behind redactions."

US President Donald Trump's name appeared more in these new documents than in previous releases. Many were media clippings that mention him, but one notable email from a federal prosecutor indicated that Trump flew on Epstein's private jet in 1997. The email, which was not redacted, suggests that Trump had a close relationship with Epstein, who was a convicted sex offender at the time. The email also mentions that Trump was a frequent guest at Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.

The new documents also revealed a fake video that was created by Epstein's associates to discredit one of his accusers. The video, which was created in 2006, shows a woman who claims to be a victim of Epstein's abuse. However, the video was later revealed to be a fabrication, and the woman was not a victim of Epstein's abuse. The creation of the fake video has raised questions about the extent of Epstein's network and the lengths to which his associates were willing to go to protect him.

The Epstein case has also raised questions about the role of possible co-conspirators in the case. The DoJ has identified 10 possible co-conspirators, but their names have been redacted from the documents. According to the FBI, these individuals may have played a role in Epstein's abuse of minors, but their involvement is still unclear. The DoJ has promised to release more information about the possible co-conspirators in the coming weeks.

The release of the new documents has sparked a renewed interest in the Epstein case, with many calling for further investigation into the possible co-conspirators and the extent of Epstein's network. The DoJ has promised to continue releasing documents in the coming weeks, and lawmakers are calling for greater transparency in the process. As the investigation continues, one thing is clear: the Epstein case is far from over.
