On December 19, 2025, in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the Department of Justice released hundreds of thousands of documents. Those files included some never-before-seen photographs of former U.S. Pres. Bill Clinton and other celebrities, but otherwise were heavily redacted, drawing criticism from Democratic and some Republican lawmakers as well as Epstein survivors. A subsequent release of some 30,000 pages of documents included mentions of Trump flying on Epstein’s plane in the 1990s. The Justice Department said more files would be released in the coming weeks.
Information that will not be released is anything that:
• identifies survivors
• involves national security matters
• is subject to ongoing investigations
• involves explicit depictions of harm to children.
