Justice Department Release Over 3 Million Pages of the Epstein Files

HeadlineFeb 02, 2026

The Justice Department has released over 3 million pages of the Epstein files. Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche says that the review was over and that it is unlikely anyone else would be prosecuted. The Wall Street Journal reports that the names of 43 survivors were left unredacted in the files that were made public. According to the Journal, more than two dozen names of survivors who were minors are exposed in the filings, along with identifying details that make them readily traceable, including home addresses. The release of the documents sheds more light on the late convicted sex offender’s ties to Hollywood elites, CEOs and government officials. For instance, Epstein had used his contacts to arrange meetings for Steve Bannon with European government leaders. The two men had dinner together often, and Epstein had offered Bannon to stay at his Paris apartment, his Palm Beach house, and use his private plane on multiple occasions. The DOJ also released photos of Brett Ratner, the director of Melania Trump’s Amazon film, with Epstein and several young women. Ratner was accused by six women of sexual impropriety in 2017. We’ll have more on the Epstein files later in the broadcast.
