Millions of new files relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), marking the largest document dump since legislation mandated their release. This unprecedented release comprises around 3 million pages, 180,000 images, and 2,000 videos made public on Friday.


The files arrived six weeks after the DOJ missed a deadline mandated by a law signed by former President Donald Trump, which required the public sharing of all Epstein-related documents. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated, Today's release marks the end of a comprehensive document identification and review process to ensure transparency to the American people and compliance.


The documents not only detail Epstein's prison life but also explore his connections to influential individuals, including Prince Andrew and Lord Mandelson, with troubling email exchanges surfacing. In one instance, emails between Epstein and a person referred to as The Duke appeared to confirm meetings and even offer introductions to young women, raising serious questions about the nature of these relationships.


Additionally, the files feature emails from high-profile figures, including Elon Musk, who discussed potential visits to Epstein's island, and a trove of messages hinting at Epstein’s ties to British elites and celebrities. However, the most concerning aspect of this release focuses on the identification of victims, with many advocates expressing outrage that the names of survivors were made public, some for the first time.


This latest release leaves many questions answered, particularly about additional documents reportedly withheld by the DOJ and concerns over the implications for victims involved in Epstein’s extensive network.
