The U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) revealed it has 5.2 million pages of Epstein files left to review and needs 400 lawyers from four different department offices to help with the process through late January, according to a government document reviewed by Reuters on Tuesday.

This is likely to extend the final release of the documents to much later than expected after a Dec. 19 deadline set by Congress, the document said.

The White House and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to Reuters’s requests for comment.
