US EditionJustice Department begins releasing long-awaited files tied to Epstein sex trafficking investigation
The Justice Department has released thousands of heavily redacted documents and photos related to Jeffrey Epstein, but key records sought by survivors remain withheld, officials said.
- On Dec. 19, the Department of Justice began publishing Epstein-related documents, including investigative files and photos, in the Epstein Library on the DOJ website.
- Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November, requiring the DOJ to publish unclassified records within 30 days and a federal judge granted the DOJ’s request to unseal grand jury records earlier this month.
- Among the posted items were surveillance footage from Epstein's custody night, multiple foreign women's passports, a text screenshot referencing 'sending girls', and photos of former President Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, actor, Michael Jackson, late pop singer, and Mick Jagger, Rolling Stones frontman.
- Lawmakers demanded a timeline if the DOJ doesn't fully release the Epstein files Friday, with Blanche emphasizing ongoing review and protections for victims.
- With the DOJ promising more releases, survivors including Liz Stein warned the files can be triggering and stressed privacy concerns while lawmakers and journalists will closely examine them.
