Massive Document Release Expands Epstein Archive The Justice Department posted more than 3 million pages, over 2,000 videos and 180,000 images to its website on Jan. 30, 2026, adding to roughly six million documents already under review under the Epstein Files Transparency Act [1]. The batch follows an initial December release and represents the final stage of the identification and review process mandated by Congress [1]. Hundreds of DOJ lawyers continue to examine the material for additional redactions [1].

Victim Identities Shielded Through Extensive Redactions All women featured in the newly released images and videos, except Ghislaine Maxwell, have been redacted to protect victim privacy [1]. Approximately 180,000 visual assets are now publicly accessible, but sensitive details that could jeopardize ongoing investigations remain withheld [1]. The department emphasized that the redaction process aims to balance transparency with investigative integrity [1].

Flight Logs Verify Donald Trump’s 1990s Travel on Epstein Jet The new documents include flight logs confirming former President Donald Trump rode Epstein’s private plane during the 1990s, predating their later public fallout [1]. These logs were part of the pre‑Christmas release that circulated widely online [1]. Neither Trump nor former President Bill Clinton have faced criminal accusations related to the flight records [1].

Ghislaine Maxwell Remains Incarcerated While Denying Wrongdoing Maxwell, convicted in 2021 of sex‑trafficking for recruiting underage victims, continues to serve a 20‑year sentence at a Texas prison camp after a transfer from Florida [1]. She maintains her innocence and has not been charged with additional offenses [1]. Her case remains one of the few prosecutions directly tied to Epstein’s abuse network [1].

Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s Suicide Highlights Ongoing Legal Battles Giuffre, who sued numerous high‑profile figures including Prince Andrew, died by suicide on her Western Australia farm in 2025 at age 41 [1]. Her allegations have not been proven in court, and Prince Andrew settled his case while denying sexual contact [1]. The DOJ’s release does not contain new evidence directly addressing her claims [1].

Department Missed Congressional Deadline but Concludes Review Phase The Justice Department failed to meet the Dec. 19 congressional deadline for full disclosure, prompting criticism from lawmakers [1]. Despite the miss, the agency announced that the current release marks the end of the required identification and review stage [1]. Ongoing analysis of the six million documents will continue to determine any further redactions [1].
