US EditionUS Justice Department handling of Epstein file release sparks backlash
Bipartisan lawmakers and survivors criticize DOJ for slow, heavily redacted Epstein file releases and threaten contempt charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi.
- On December 23, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice released tens of thousands more Jeffrey Epstein documents as Data Set 8 under the Epstein Files Transparency Act .
- The agency missed its Dec. 19 deadline and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said releases will continue on a rolling basis to redact survivor information and shield abuse depictions.
- The initial publication arrived as five data sets, showing 3,158 photos of properties, 574 travel photos, 152 PDF call logs, 67 PDF inventories, and 120 images of hard drives.
- Lawmakers responded with threats to hold Attorney General Pam Bondi in contempt, survivors called for hearings, and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said it's `crystal clear: release the Epstein files in full`.
- The department temporarily removed files after New York federal prosecutors flagged material, noting a temporarily removed photo later reposted by the DOJ, while Angel Urena said there is `widespread suspicion` of selective releases.
