DOJ to release 3.5 million new Epstein documents and 2,000 videos
Ask who never gets charged.
The Justice Department will soon release an additional 3.5 million pages of investigative material related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including roughly 2,000 videos and more than 180,000 images, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Friday.
Blanche announced the disclosure at a news conference, describing it as part of the department’s effort to comply with a law passed by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump late last year requiring broad transparency around the Epstein investigations.

The forthcoming release also includes internal DOJ documentation explaining how the agency reviewed the materials and determined what could legally be made public. Blanche said the department is transmitting a letter to Congress alongside the disclosures, as well as internal protocols detailing the review process.
“We are also releasing today a letter we are transmitting to Congress and various internal protocols associated with our review,” Blanche said. Those materials, he added, will outline the “legal basis” for any redactions or withholdings.
The announcement follows an initial release that started in December 2025 in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The department released hundreds of thousands of documents via a public portal at the time, but stressed that more documents would be coming in the weeks ahead.
Blanche emphasized that DOJ personnel and the FBI have been working “full time” for weeks to process the massive volume of records, …
