Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch announced the Department of Justice published over 3 million additional pages responsive to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law by President Trump on November 19, 2025.
The United States Department of Justice has released a massive new tranche of investigative filesrelated to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
At a news conference on Friday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the department was releasing more than 3 million pages of documents, as well as more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.
He said the release means the department has met a legal requirement passed by Congress last year.
“Today’s release marks the end of a very comprehensive document identification and review process to ensure transparency to the American people and compliance with the act,” Blanche said.
But the administration of President Donald Trump has faced scrutiny over the pacing of the files’ release and redactions within the published documents.
Trump himself has been confronted with questions about his past relationship with Epstein, who cultivated a roster of influential contacts.
On Friday, Blanche dismissed rumours that the Justice Department had sought to protect powerful individuals, including Trump.
While Trump has acknowledged a years-long friendship with the financier, he has denied any knowledge of the underage sex-trafficking ring that prosecutors say Epstein led.
“There’s this built-in assumption that somehow there’s this hidden tranche of information of men that we know about, that we’re covering up, or that we’re not, we’re choosing not to prosecute,” Blanche said. “That is not the case.”
