Justice Department Publishes Largest Epstein Files Release to Date

The court‑mandated trove features extensive redactions with officials cautioning that many entries are raw, unverified tips.

Overview

  • The DOJ posted more than three million pages along with roughly 180,000 images and about 2,000 videos, adding an age‑verification gate for potentially explicit material.
  • Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said images of women were redacted except for Ghislaine Maxwell and emphasized the review did not protect President Trump.
  • References in the files touch prominent figures, including Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Steve Bannon, Steve Tisch and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, with emails noting a possible Buckingham Palace dinner and discussions about visiting Epstein’s island.
  • FBI tip‑line summaries include unverified and sometimes sensational allegations involving President Trump, and the DOJ warned such submissions are not evidence and that some claims are untrue.
  • Newly disclosed investigative records include a 2007 draft federal indictment of Epstein and aides before his 2008 plea deal, and the department acknowledged missing the statutory deadline while saying this publication concludes its mandated review.
