Epstein Files Rife with Uncensored Nudes and Victims' Names, Despite Redaction Efforts

The DOJ made nearly 3.5 million Epstein-related pages publicly searchable following a law mandating transparency, but some files contain unverified claims and incomplete redactions, officials said.

  • On Feb. 5, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice posted a searchable Epstein Library hosting nearly 3 million pages on justice.gov/epstein, the DOJ said.
  • The Epstein Files Transparency Act mandated public, searchable disclosure within 30 days, requiring Attorney General Pam Bondi to publish all prosecution files by Dec. 19, 2025.
  • Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said reviewers sifted over six million pages, thousands of videos and tens of thousands of images from SDNY, SDFL, Maxwell’s case, FBI probes and the Office of Inspector General, including irrelevant items like a 20-page David Bowie biography.
  • Attorneys for alleged victims moved in court to take down the site, citing redaction failures; the Justice Department apologised and removed thousands of files after nearly 100 victims raised concerns, while two federal judges in New York cancelled a hearing following progress reports.
  • Critics noted the release came from a Republican-controlled Department of Justice and prompted political speculation, with the DOJ saying its review finished after the Jan. 30 release and the Epstein Library updated on Feb. 2, 2026.
