Trump’s DOJ has released just 2% of the Epstein files, report claims

The DOJ released only 2 percent of Epstein-related files, including a 130-name list with many redactions, raising concerns about full compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

  • On Saturday, the Department of Justice released 300 gigabytes, roughly 2 percent of the Epstein files, and Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a six‑page letter to Congress listing 130 names.
  • Last December, Congress mandated disclosure under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, but internal investigator emails showed 20–40 terabytes expected and the DOJ published material weeks later after the December 19 deadline.
  • The list includes dead celebrities Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe and known associates like President Donald Trump, who appears more than 38,000 times and is flagged in over 5,300 files.
  • Lawmakers reacted, saying Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche asserted the department had released 'all records,' but critics claimed redactions were improper and less‑redacted files were viewed last week.
  • Critics note the move appears to placate critics while the DOJ has yet to release all six million files, amid political backlash and a February 16, 2026 carnival float referencing Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe.
