The FBI and federal prosecutors in New York informed the Department of Justice (DoJ) of the discovery.
"We have lawyers working around the clock to review and make the legally required redactions to protect victims, and we will release the documents as soon as possible," the DoJ said on Wednesday.
The department said it could take "a few more weeks" before all the files are released. The DoJ has been under scrutiny after not releasing all Epstein files by 19 December, the deadline mandated under a new law.
The agency said it would "continue to fully comply with federal law and President Trump's direction to release the files".
