The Department of Justice has released at least three million new files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. The new trove of documents was made public on Friday (January 30), expanding on hundreds of thousands of records already published by the House Committee on Oversight in late 2025. These files include images, flight logs, grand jury materials, emails, and photographs seized during FBI searches of Epstein’s properties in New York City and the US Virgin Islands. Some of the material depicts Epstein with young-looking women and features prominent individuals, such as former President Bill Clinton, actor Kevin Spacey, billionaire Sir Richard Branson, and British figures like Peter Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The release follows the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump, which required the Justice Department to publish all files related to Epstein’s investigations by December 19, 2025. The department is reviewing millions of records, with roughly 400 lawyers working to ensure victim privacy. So far, more than 125,000 pages had been posted online, representing less than one percent of the potential total.
Some of the newly released files were temporarily removed from the DOJ’s website after concerns about sensitive content. One such removal involved a photo of President Trump, which was taken down for review at the request of the Southern District of New York and later restored after officials determined it did not depict any victims. The DOJ has emphasized its efforts to redact personal and sensitive information, but acknowledged the challenge given the large volume of documents.
Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidant now serving a 20-year sentence, has been subpoenaed to testify before the House Oversight Committee in February. Maxwell has stated she will invoke her Fifth Amendment rights, citing concerns about jeopardizing her ongoing appeal.
As the Justice Department continues to review and release more files, lawmakers and advocates are watching for further revelations and pressing for accountability for anyone implicated in Epstein’s crimes. The DOJ has said that, so far, no additional co-conspirators face charges. The release of these documents is ongoing, and further updates are expected in the coming weeks.
