The delay means the White House is in apparent conflict with a law President Donald Trump signed in November.

The Department of Justice will not be releasing all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by Friday’s deadline, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Friday morning.
In an interview with Fox News, Blanche said the department would “release several hundred thousand documents today.”
But he acknowledged Friday’s release would not encompass all of the DOJ’s documents for the investigation into the late financier.
“I expect that we’re going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks, so today several hundred thousand and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more,” Blanche said. “There’s a lot of eyes looking at these and we want to make sure that when we do produce the materials we are producing, that we are protecting every single victim.”
The delay means the White House is in apparent conflict with a law President Donald Trump signed in November that mandated the wholesale release of all of its non-exempt Epstein information within a 30-day period.
