Epstein files released by DOJ

Source: CNBC

Published Fri, Dec 19 2025 5:44 AM EST Updated 4 Min Ago


The Department of Justice on Friday released some — but not all — of its investigative files about Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious sex predator. The release came on the deadline set by the recently signed Epstein Files Transparency Act for the DOJ to release all of the files.

The DOJ’s website features a new page titled “Epstein Library,” which has a search box to look for keywords in the newly released files. The material included hundreds of photographs, some of which featured Epstein and his former girlfriend and convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as images that appeared to show parts of his home and other locations.

It was not immediately clear how much of the released material was not previously publicly available through other sources.

The search box did not immediately appear to work, as searches for words including “Epstein” generated a message saying: “No results found. Please try a different search.” “This site houses materials responsive under the Epstein Files Transparency Act,” the site says. “This site will be updated if additional documents are identified for release.”

The DOJ's website features a new page titled "Epstein Library," which has a search box to look for keywords in the newly released files.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche earlier Friday told Fox News, "I expect that we're going to release several hundred thousand documents today."

"I expect that we're going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks, so today several hundred thousand, and then over the next couple weeks," Blanche said. "I expect several hundred thousand more." Blanche said the DOJ was reviewing each file to redact names and identities of Epstein's victims.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't expect much from this overall. Just look at the gutter filth we are relying on to release the files.

It's being reported that several of the documents literally consist of nothing but hundreds of entirely blacked out pages.

In short:

Trump raped girls.
Trump was very good friends with Epstein.
Trump was an active participant in an international child sex trafficking ring.
That ring included Putin, Epstein, and had
clients that included rich and powerful men
who could be blackmailed.
Trump's modeling try outs and beauty pageants were used to recruit girls for
sex trafficking.
Some young girls might have just disappeared into the sex trafficking world.

Republicans know Trump is a child raping shit and want to cover that up.

legal fight over them will drag on and on. I also heard today that there is no requirement to account for individual documents they do not release. Once they declare the release process "completed" the wag on the radio said they have 15 days to say the "categories" of things they didn't release. No requirement apparently to specify beyond "categories". That's if the wag on MS Never had it right.

or redact anything without providing an explanation. I fully expected this and I believe a Federal Judge will find the administration in Contempt.

Toner ink for the black-stuff-out redaction process is arriving by the truckload.

Yes, you can have all the documents eventually.
Just not in any form that is readable.

National Security and all that.

and it seems fair to say they've redacted much more than victims names and faces. very much more.

It will find everything including stuff you don't want. But with a little weeding (and a lot of patience) you can find passages that are about HIM.

Now the score is

Trump - 624

But if this is any indication, seems like some double-dipping....?

I doubt most non-MAGA people will believe that Trump wasn't in any of these thousands of pages while Clinton was everywhere.

They are so predictable and think this will end the whole Epstein thing once and for all! Even their cover ups are pathetically sophomoric.
