Even Nicolás Maduro’s Prosecutors Are Tied Up Reviewing Epstein Files
The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- Following Nicolás Maduro's arraignment on narcotics charges, nearly all prosecutors in the Southern District of New York were redirected to review Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking case.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi reported that about two-thirds of the office's 200 lawyers were focused on reviewing Epstein documents, but sources indicate the number is closer to nearly all available prosecutors.
- The review is in response to a law requiring the release of millions of Epstein-related documents, with victims' names redacted; however, only a small portion has been publicly released so far.
- The document review began in early January and was expected to last a few weeks, but no official timeline for completion has been provided.
