US authorities have discovered more than a million more documents potentially related to the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein that they plan to release in the coming days and weeks, officials say.

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.

They "discovered" 1 million files just when it was due? Yeah, okay.

I often misplace several extra million dollars lying around... same with legos, just millions of extra ones lying around I keep missing. It's so easy to 'just overlook' millions of pieces of things.

You're not misplacing the funds with LEGO, you're preparing to become a Master Model Builder. Bringing your own stock will help you look better.

Just hope you can build a ball that can survive the drop test.
