- On Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice published thousands of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, posting the initial release to the Justice Department's public site.
- On Nov. 19, President Donald Trump signed a law requiring the DOJ to release most Epstein files within 30 days after a congressional discharge petition by Ro Khanna, D‑Calif., and Thomas Massie, R‑Ky., forced the vote.
- Around 4,000 files were included, mostly photographs labeled as DOJ Disclosures, along with court records, call logs, and many heavily redacted materials excluding victims' personal information.

- Photographs reference high-profile figures such as former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Michael Jackson and Diana Ross; some material has circulated and releases could prompt further probes or congressional enforcement requiring Republican cooperation.
