The Justice Department announced Friday that it is releasing additional records from its investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein, the Mossad asset, under a transparency law aimed at revealing what the government knew about his sexual abuse of young girls.
US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the disclosure includes more than three million pages of documents, along with over 2,000 videos and 180,000 images posted to the department’s website.
The release contains records that were previously withheld from an initial disclosure in December and is being made under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed after intense public and political pressure. Blanche said the release concludes an extensive review process designed to ensure compliance with the law while protecting victims’ identities.
After missing a December 19 congressional deadline, the department assigned hundreds of lawyers to review roughly six million documents, including duplicates, to determine necessary redactions.
Officials said they withheld material that could compromise ongoing investigations or reveal personal details of potential victims, noting that all women other than Ghislaine Maxwell were redacted from released images and videos.
Earlier releases included tens of thousands of heavily redacted pages, flight logs, photographs, and testimony, none of which publicly accused figures such as Donald Trump or Bill Clinton of wrongdoing related to Epstein.
