Millions of documents and thousands of images and videos later, the Justice Department says their review into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is done.
That's Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche speaking to ABC News on Sunday.
Last November, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which legally required the DOJ to release all the files with redactions for sensitive information related to victims.
That is not exactly what happened.
This release included pictures of nude women, or possibly girls, and the names of victims.
The DOJ spokeswoman subsequently told The New York Times the department was addressing victim concerns and making additional redactions.
And Blanch said that Friday's release means the department is now in compliance.
On CNN, he dismissed calls for additional prosecutions.
Consider this.
Survivors of Epstein's abuse have demanded the release of all files.
So where do they go from here?

Now that they're out, we wanted to hear from Annie Farmer again.
You've been vocal about wanting all the documents released.
