We will update the report.
The US Department of Justice is currently releasing over three million pages of materials related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced this on Friday.

They won’t publish everything, something will be edited
He said the files would fulfill the Justice Department’s obligations under the Transparency Act. It was passed by Congress last year to force disclosure. They contain 2,000 videos and 180,000 images “that were seized from Epstein’s devices.” However, most of them will contain “extensive modifications”.
“As a result of the Department’s collection efforts, more than six million pages were identified as potentially responsive, including Department and FBI emails, summaries of interviews, images, videos and various other materials collected and generated during the various investigations and prosecutions covered by the Act,” Blanche said.
When asked if there were new names in the published documents, Blanche told reporters that he had nothing to say. But he said the disclosure reiterated what “President Trump has been saying for years … detailing his relationship, or lack thereof, with Mr. Epstein and what he thinks of Mr. Epstein.”
All photos of women, except those with Epstein’s companion Ghislaine Maxwell, will be censored. Several prominent public figures have appeared in the files published so far, including President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton and former Minister of Foreign Affairs Miroslav Lajčák.
The Epstein files contain various information about them, including the claim that Bill Gates caught a sexually transmitted disease from a woman in Russia.
Trump will appear there. The question is how
Among the released records is a document that contains unverified claims about Donald Trump. This is a recording of a telephone call in which an anonymous caller describes the statement of a woman identified as “Victim 1” (Victim number 1).
According to this record, the woman was supposed to end up at the Trump Plaza Hotel in New York in 1987 after a social dinner. She claims she was given an alcoholic drink and later woke up naked in pain with no memory of the events. The document says she remembered a “flash” of Donald Trump’s face and believed she had been raped. However, the case was not reported to the police at the time and there is no medical documentation.
At the same time, the record states that the woman is missing today and presumed dead, while her disappearance could not be clearly explained. The authorities state in the document that the information could not be independently verified.
Another part of the published material describes parties from 2004-2005, which, according to the whistleblower, were attended by Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump and other famous people. The document also mentions allegations of trafficking in young women. In this case too, it is a statement without court confirmation.
The US Department of Justice emphasizes that the release of the documents does not constitute confirmation of the truth of the claims and that many of the records come from unverified reports.
President Donald Trump has been dismissive of the aforementioned claims for a long time and denies any involvement in criminal activity.
