Claims about Trump in Epstein files are ‘untrue,’ the Justice Department says

The Department of Justice released nearly 30,000 Epstein-related pages, refuting claims about President Trump as unfounded and highlighting ongoing scrutiny of file redactions.

  • On Dec. 23, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice posted nearly 30,000 pages of Epstein files and flagged some claims about President Donald Trump as untrue.
  • Under the congressional mandate, the Justice Department began releasing documents Friday after Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act last month, but the initial batch was heavily redacted and incomplete.
  • The FBI found the handwriting did not match Jeffrey Epstein's and the letter was postmarked three days after his death, while missing inmate and return-address details showed required mail elements absent.
  • At least 16 files briefly disappeared Saturday from the DOJ's public webpage, including a photograph showing President Donald Trump, which was restored after review saying no victims were depicted.
  • While the DOJ stressed mentions don't imply wrongdoing, the FBI had not publicly corroborated claims as of Tuesday, and Grace French said, `The back and forth is so destabilizing and each new update is I have to feel like I reengage emotionally.
