The Department of Justice announced on Friday that it is releasing over 3 million pages of documents related to investigations into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This latest release occurs more than a month past the deadline for the agency to have made all its Epstein files public, a deadline that was emphasized by President Trump.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated at a Friday news conference that the newly released files contain over 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. He noted that a substantial portion of these files consist of images or videos that were either not captured by Epstein personally or constitute commercial pornography, while some of the videos and images seem to have been recorded by Epstein or individuals in his circle.

The Justice Department stated that it did not redact images of any men in the files, except in cases where redacting the woman would have required redacting the man as well. Blanche indicated that members of Congress could request to examine any sections of the files without redactions.

During the press conference, Blanche said the Justice Department had identified over 6 million pages of materials as “potentially responsive” to the Epstein investigation. The categories of documents that the Department is still withholding include information concerning victims’ personal and medical details, depictions of child pornography, or any material that would compromise an active federal investigation. Blanche refused to comment on whether an ongoing investigation regarding Epstein’s associates still exists, and he rejected allegations that the Department is selectively withholding files concerning Trump, who has a decades-long history with Epstein.

“There’s this narrative circulating that the Department of Justice is supposed to protect Donald J. Trump… That’s false. It never was the case,” Blanche stated. “When we stated that we were legally prohibited from releasing documents, that’s a fact. It was true then. It remains true today.”

On Tuesday, the DOJ stated in a court filing that it has reviewed and redacted millions of pages of Epstein files, but still cannot determine when all remaining files will be released.

“Department attorneys, agents, and other personnel have devoted days and weeks to complying with the Act and will continue doing so until the process is finished,” the filing states.

In November, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act with broad bipartisan support following months of resistance from Republicans. The legislation mandated that the Justice Department publicly release all its files related to the investigation within 30 days. Trump signed the bill after reversing his previous opposition to the measure and ultimately encouraging Republicans to support it.
