US EditionJustice Department begins releasing long-awaited files tied to Epstein sex trafficking investigation
The Department of Justice began a phased release of over 4,000 redacted files and photos related to Jeffrey Epstein's investigations, with many key documents still 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.

STEPHEN COHEN: The Epstein files — Remember the victims
I understand the fascination with the Epstein files, but the major concern for me is finding justice for the 1,000-plus women who were raped and trafficked. We are not sure where all the trafficking and sexual assaults took place and therefore cannot determine what the statutes of limitations in the various jurisdictions are, nor do we know what crimes may have been committed and by whom. The release of all the information is crucial to see if f…
