"The Justice Department has begun to publish documents from the Epstein files in its possession regarding the life, death and criminal investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. NPR is reviewing the website the Justice Department created to make the documents publicly available. The Epstein Library includes documents broken into Court Records, DOJ Disclosures, FOIA Records and House Disclosures. Under the law, the DOJ was required to put the documents on a website and make them downloadable and searchable."
"On Friday morning, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche indicated in an interview with Fox News "several hundreds of thousands" of pages would be released on Friday, with more to follow. The release of the Epstein files is the latest development in a political saga that has dogged President Trump's second term in office and caused bipartisan backlash against Trump's conflicting and shifting commentary on the subject."
The Department of Justice has started posting Epstein-related records online in a publicly accessible, searchable, and downloadable repository called the Epstein Library. The library organizes materials into Court Records, DOJ Disclosures, FOIA Records, and House Disclosures. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said several hundreds of thousands of pages would be released initially, with more to follow. The release has intensified political scrutiny and bipartisan reaction given prior conflicting public commentary from President Trump. The Epstein Files Transparency Act required Attorney General Pam Bondi to publish all unclassified materials within 30 days, including documents related to Ghislaine Maxwell and named or referenced individuals.
