Epstein files – level 2
26-12-2025 07:00
The US Department of Justice puts Epstein files online after Congress orders their release. The website says officials hide private details to keep victims safe and protect active cases.
Reporters and lawyers now read the files, but they say this will take time because there are so many pages.
The files show court papers, interviews, photos, and notes from police work. Many survivors say the release makes them feel worried, and they want clear information.
The case causes political problems. President Trump wanted the release, but many people say the government moves too slowly. Both officials and people ask for clearer answers and more open communication about information in the files.
Difficult words: release (to make something public or let it go), private (not for others to see), victim (a person who is hurt).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What reason do reporters and lawyers give for why reviewing the released Epstein files will take time?
