around not only the country but the world that we were dealing with. As to details on it, I don't know how -- I don't recall how often. Q In relation to EFTA and the Department's obligations thereunder, what concerns was -- or, did Todd Blanche express concerns as far as releasing documents? What was he saying? Ms. Dhillon. I'm just going to point out that you can answer that to the extent that it doesn't reveal protected communications. Ms. Bondi. I can say I believe everyone was concerned about protecting victims' identities, given the 6 million pages of documents that was received and a 30-day timeline to comply with that process. BY MR. EMMER: Q And we're going to talk in more detail about what was produced. But, to start, how did the Department of Justice initially gather or collect the necessary documents or materials that complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act? A Can you repeat that? Q How did the Department of Justice initially gather or collect the necessary documents or materials that complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act? A Well, as I stated earlier, we -- the Department made motions to unseal things that were previously withheld from us by the courts and requested everything we possibly could, which is why there was an over-collection in documents, as well, from all the jurisdictions. And, again, that included the death of Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell's case, both of -- all of Epstein's cases in the multiple jurisdictions. Q To the best of your knowledge, what was the process to determine which documents or materials fell under the Epstein Files Transparency Act? A I believe we collected everything possibly out there related to Epstein, which is why there was such an over-collection as well.
