DOJ Finds 1 Million More Epstein Files as Redaction Flaws and Political Pressure Intensify

Media are bypassing many blacked‑out passages, underscoring procedural errors that heighten both privacy risks and doubts about the release process.

Overview

  • Justice officials confirmed the FBI and Manhattan prosecutors located more than one million additional Epstein‑related documents and said teams are reviewing and redacting them for staged publication without a firm timetable.
  • News outlets demonstrated that numerous PDF redactions can be reconstructed, and several files were briefly posted, removed, and later reuploaded on the DOJ site.
  • The department said a purported Epstein letter accusing President Trump was faked and cautioned against untrue claims about the president.
  • Newly released records show Epstein secretly traveled to Monaco and Vienna in March 2019, with his jet landing in Vienna on March 22 for about five hours, and authorities previously found an Austrian passport with a false identity in his New York residence.
  • President Trump castigated Democrats and the DOJ on Truth Social and demanded the release of names, while members of both parties questioned the scope of redactions and pressed for fuller transparency consistent with victim protection.
