Washington — The Justice Department released more than three million pages, over 2,000 videos and about 180,000 images from its Jeffrey Epstein investigative files on Friday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said. The disclosures, posted to the department’s library under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, follow prior partial releases and include extensive redactions to protect victim identities, notably removing images of women except Ghislaine Maxwell. The department said roughly 3.5 million pages have been produced and that some material remains withheld under statutory exceptions. The release updates publicly available records about Epstein’s investigations. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
