DoJ Unveils Tens of Thousands of New Epstein Documents The Justice Department made public a new tranche of Epstein‑related material on Dec. 24, adding tens of thousands of pages to the already extensive record. Officials said the drop is part of a broader transparency effort and that additional batches may appear in the coming days. To speed redaction, the DOJ asked veteran Florida prosecutors to volunteer for a short‑term assignment. The agency warned that reviewing the files could postpone full public release by several weeks [2][1].

Prince Andrew Named in Emails About 2002 Peru Trip Emails between Ghislaine Maxwell and an unidentified “A” discuss arranging a 2002 Peru trip that would involve “girls” and reference Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor’s official visit that year. Maxwell’s messages describe a “social pool” of “intelligent, pretty, fun” contacts, while noting she herself would not travel to Peru. The same batch contains a separate request from U.S. prosecutors in April 2020 that the UK compel Prince Andrew to testify in Epstein‑linked investigations, and Parliament is slated to examine his Crown Estate lease and finances next year, intensifying scrutiny [2][1].

Trump Appears Multiple Times but No Formal Accusation The documents mention former President Donald Trump several times, but the DOJ has not linked him to any criminal conduct in the Epstein case. Some of the Trump references are labeled sensational or unverified, prompting the department to caution readers about authenticity. No formal accusation or subpoena has been issued against Trump based on the newly released material [2][1].

Fake Larry Nassar Letter and Austrian Passport Highlight Document Anomalies Among the releases, a handwritten letter purportedly signed by “J. Epstein” to former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar was identified as a forgery after handwriting and postmark analysis. Investigators also uncovered an Austrian passport using Epstein’s photograph under the alias “Marius Robert Fortelni,” listing travel to multiple countries and an expired U.S. passport. Both items illustrate the mixture of genuine and fabricated evidence within the massive file set [2].
