DOJ seeks 60-day extension to withhold more Epstein files

The Justice Department is asking a judge to reject demands for more unredacted Jeffrey Epstein records, citing transparency law compliance. The DOJ argues it has already reviewed millions of documents and seeks a 60-day extension to consider an appeal if ordered to release more sensitive material. The dispute involves records potentially identifying victims or compromising ongoing investigations, with the DOJ offering sealed explanations to the judge.
