The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has released a final batch of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, publishing what officials described as millions of pages of records, along with thousands of videos and images.
The release follows a law passed in November mandating the disclosure of all remaining Epstein-related materials held by the government. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced at a press conference on Friday that the newly published files represent the conclusion of the administration’s planned disclosures under the legislation.
According to Blanche, the latest cache includes more than three million pages of documents, approximately 2,000 videos, and about 180,000 images. However, many of the materials contain heavy redactions, particularly where privacy laws, ongoing legal protections, or the identities of victims and uninvolved individuals are concerned.
Epstein, who was convicted in 2008 on charges involving the sexual exploitation of minors and later faced federal sex trafficking charges, died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial. His case has drawn global attention due to his connections with numerous high-profile figures in politics, business, and entertainment.
The newly released records are expected to fuel further scrutiny and public debate, as researchers, journalists, and legal experts begin reviewing the vast volume of material. Officials have cautioned that the documents may not immediately provide clear answers due to the scale of the release and the extent of redactions.
The Justice Department said the publication is part of a broader effort to comply with transparency requirements while still protecting victims’ rights and sensitive investigative details.
