They also contain a significant number of uncorroborated tips to law enforcement.Congress mandated the release in November, and President Trump signed the bill despite initially opposing it, as he has sought to put an end to the accusations and speculation swirling around the case. The latest batch of documents arrived weeks after a Dec. 19 deadline imposed by Congress.Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the White House had nothing to do with vetting the released documents. They had no oversight and they did not tell this department how to do our review and what to look for and what to redact or not redact, he said.Heres what else we know about the latest release of Epstein files.The release was voluminous.The department released three million pages, 2,000 videos and some 180,000 images at about 11 a.m. Eastern on Friday.
