DOJ Posts Thousands More Epstein Records, Cites False Trump Allegations in Files

The expanded cache fuels backlash over sweeping redactions plus a missed congressional deadline.

Overview

  • At least 8,000 additional files went online, including hundreds of videos and August 2019 jail surveillance footage, though some posted links did not work.
  • The Justice Department warned that some newly released materials include untrue, sensational claims about President Trump submitted before the 2020 election, while continuing redactions to protect victims.
  • A January 2020 email from a Manhattan federal prosecutor says flight records list Trump on at least eight Epstein jet trips from 1993 to 1996, including several with Ghislaine Maxwell, with no allegation of wrongdoing.
  • A coalition of alleged victims accused the department of excessive blackouts and unredacted victim names, saying the partial, error‑prone disclosures caused immediate harm.
  • Bipartisan pressure escalated as Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie discussed contempt proceedings against Attorney General Pam Bondi and Sen. Chuck Schumer moved to seek legal action over noncompliance.
