By law, the DOJ had to make all materials public by the end of Friday. But only some have been released, many with numerous redactions.

The lawmakers who pushed for these documents to see the light of day have described the DOJ's efforts as insincere, and some legal experts say that the redactions may only fuel ongoing conspiracy theories.

"We just want all of the evidence of these crimes out there," Epstein survivor Liz Stein told the BBC.

Ms Stein told Radio 4's Today programme that she thought the justice department was "really brazenly going against the Epstein Files Transparency Act" - the law that requires all the documents to be released.
