DOJ Unveils Millions of Epstein Files, High-Profile Names Surface

Newly Released Documents and Images Spark Global Reaction and Renew Scrutiny of Epstein’s Network

The U.S. Department of Justice has released millions of pages of previously sealed documents, photos, and emails from its investigations into the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, marking the largest public disclosure yet in the long-standing Epstein saga.

The release, comprising over 3 million pages of records, more than 2,000 videos, and roughly 180,000 images, was conducted under a federal transparency law aimed at fully exposing the government’s files related to Epstein’s criminal activities and social connections.

Among the newly disclosed material are communications and images that reference former Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) in compromising contexts, drawing intense international attention. Additional high-profile figures are referenced in the trove, including prominent business leaders such as Howard Lutnick and others who appear in email correspondences or social interactions with Epstein.

The documents reveal a wide network of social ties and attempts by Epstein to connect influential individuals with various activities, including dinners and travel. While the presence of these names does not equate to criminal allegations, the materials have reignited public and political debate over the extent of Epstein’s relationships and influence, and whether powerful figures received favorable treatment.

Internationally, the disclosures have produced ripple effects, prompting calls for cooperation from implicated figures and even the resignation of a Slovak official following revelations of meetings with Epstein. Meanwhile, survivor advocates and lawmakers continue to press for further transparency and accountability, even as criticism grows over the timing, redactions, and completeness of the released materials.
