US EditionJustice Department begins releasing long-awaited files tied to Epstein sex trafficking investigation
- 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.
