DOJ Releases New Epstein Files; Lawmakers Demand Full FBI 302 Release of Ten Co‑Conspirators

Updated (11 articles)

DOJ’s December 2025 File Dump Expands Epstein Record The Justice Department issued its largest tranche yet, publishing nearly 30,000 pages of documents, photos, videos and investigative notes on December 23‑24, 2025, fulfilling a congressional deadline for full disclosure [2][3][5][6][7][8]. Materials remain heavily redacted to protect victims and ongoing investigations, prompting criticism from survivors and lawmakers [2][8]. The batch includes flight logs, surveillance clips, news clippings and tip‑line emails that broaden the public view of Epstein’s network [5][6].

Trump’s Private‑Jet Flights Appear in Multiple Releases Email memos from a Southern District of New York prosecutor show Donald Trump was listed as a passenger on Epstein’s private jet at least eight times between 1993 and 1996, with Ghislaine Maxwell aboard four of those trips [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Passengers also included Marla Maples, Tiffany Trump and Eric Trump, and some flights featured unidentified individuals who could be potential witnesses in the Maxwell case [5][7]. The DOJ warned that several Trump‑related items are “untrue or sensationalist,” while Trump has repeatedly denied ever flying on the jet [4][7].

Ten Possible Co‑Conspirators Highlighted, Khanna Calls for Full FBI 302 Release A newly released document references ten possible co‑conspirators; only Ghislaine Maxwell and Les Wexner appear unredacted, with Wexner’s lawyers asserting he is neither a target nor a co‑conspirator [2][3][4]. Representative Ro Khanna told MSNBC that the FBI’s 302 interview files likely contain the names of the remaining eight and urged Congress to force a complete release [1]. Maxwell’s 20‑year sentence from 2022 remains the sole conviction among the named individuals [1][2].

Clinton and Other High‑Profile Figures Appear in Redacted Photos The dump includes several photographs of former President Bill Clinton on Epstein’s private plane, in a pool with Maxwell, and in a hot tub with an unidentified woman, all lacking dates or context [10][11][2]. White House officials posted the images on social media, while Clinton’s spokesman emphasized the investigation is not about him and noted he has never been accused by Epstein’s victims [10][11]. Similar images feature Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, further illustrating the breadth of high‑profile contacts [9].

Fake Epstein–Nassar Letter Confirmed as Fabricated A handwritten letter purportedly from Epstein to former team doctor Larry Nassar was declared fake by the DOJ and FBI, citing mismatched handwriting, a post‑mortem Virginia postmark and an incorrect return address [3][4][5][6][8]. The letter’s claim that a president “shared a love of young girls” was identified as a sensationalist addition with no evidentiary basis [8]. The discovery underscores the need for careful verification of documents emerging from the releases.

Mar‑a‑Lago Subpoena and Ongoing Legislative Pressure Emails reveal a 2021 subpoena issued to Trump’s Mar‑a‑Lago club demanding employment records tied to a redacted individual in the Maxwell case [5][6]. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the partial releases as leaving “more questions than answers,” while Khanna and other lawmakers continue to push for the full FBI‑302 files to identify all alleged accomplices [1][5].
