This confirmation comes after confusion about when the documents would be released following an appeal by one of the J. Does mentioned in the case.

The release of unsealed documents in the civil case related to Jeffrey Epstein is scheduled to begin Wednesday, a federal New York court told Just the News.

The statement follows earlier news reports that the documents, which were purportedly to be released Tuesday, that they would not be release for at least an additional 30 days.

A spokesperson for the Southern District of New York told Just the News that previous reporting indicating that the release would be delayed until at least Jan. 22 was inaccurate. He said that the release of the much anticipated documents is scheduled to begin today.

The spokesperson said that only the individuals who have appealed for continued sealing of their personal information would be withheld from the release and that earlier reports claiming that the whole release would be delayed for 30 days were inaccurate.

The dump of unsealed documents is expected to reveal more than 175 names of individuals mentioned in a civil case filed by one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims against Epstein’s associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

ABC News previously reported that J. Doe 36 mentioned in the court documents is former President Bill Clinton. The Wall Street Journal previously identified several individuals who met and interacted with Epstein from 2013 to 2017.

The confusion over the timeline appears to stem from the most recent filing in the case, in which Judge Loretta Preska granted a 30-day extension to one of the individuals named in the case, J. Doe 107.

So everyone listed got to scan the list to decide whether or not they want to be on it, huh?

[uranium penguin]

Kind of whish they’d release it 2-3 names per day..

Give everyone to see a pic and a bio as they go along.

[Responsibility2nd]

Right. Release all the names now except J. Doe 107.

Release his/her name later.

(Probably Hillary?)

[mewzilla]

Well, this is the SDNY.

[MeganC]

Odd they’re not going to release the list after 5pm on a Friday. They want this in the news cycle for some reason.

Suddenly I feel cautious about this. Something’s up.

[Jonny7797]

This will be a big nothing burger or it will attempt to make Trump or his allies look bad.

[XRdsRev]

Anything mentioning Trump will be released first.

[Da Coyote]

I believe that this has been delayed for another month due to some made up something or other. (Come on, we knew it would happen. And it will continue to happen until the list is mysteriously redacted/deleted/lost.)

[Sarah Barracuda]

How is this list going to be different than the list that has been circulating for yrs

[gloryblaze]

... The spokesperson said that only the individuals who have appealed for continued sealing of their personal information would be withheld from the release and that earlier reports claiming that the whole release would be delayed for 30 days were inaccurate....

While the article mentions lady #107 specifically, I see no reference to how many others have appealed for their ID being sealed.

[McGavin999]

Do flight logs list destinations?

[DesertRhino]

“Scheduled to begin”

Exactly how long does it take to release a list of 500 names or such?

[Beowulf9]

Don’t worry. It’s all in safe keeping. The FBI took possession of the list.

It’s being kept in a safe place along with Hunter Biden’s laptop.

[TLI]

There might still be a few redactions.

.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The flight logs are a diversion that were released years ago. They include anybody who flew on Epstein’s plane, regardless of destination. The only reason the gaslight press is bringing them up now is to muddy the waters.

The list we are talking about now is the list of people who visited Epstein’s Lolita island.

“Anything mentioning Trump will be released first.”

It would have aleady been leaked if it existed.

[McGavin999]

Ah thanks.

[ZOOKER]

Is there a list that identifies the real names of all the John/Jane Does?

I wouldn't put it past them to redact THAT list, them selectively leak individual names as the mood strikes them. You know, like, John 232's check didn't clear or Jane 53's book is a little too revealing...
