The Justice Department said it has released “all” files tied to dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, according to a letter sent by Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche to lawmakers on Saturday night.
Bondi and Blanche’s letter said the DOJ has fulfilled its obligation to release files as part of the Epstein Transparency Act and outlined why it redacted certain portions.
“In accordance with the requirements of the Act, and as described in various Department submissions to the courts of the Southern District of New York assigned to the Epstein and [Ghislaine] Maxwell prosecutions and related orders, the Department released all ‘records, documents, communications and investigative materials in the possession of the Department’ that ‘relate to’ [Epstein],” the letter said.
It also included a lengthy list of government officials and “politically exposed persons” who were named in the files.
That list included President Donald Trump, ex-President Joe Biden, Tucker Carlson, Bruce Springsteen, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, California Sen. Adam Schiff (D), Robert De Niro, Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, ex-Vice President Kamala Harris, and former President Barack Obama, among many others.
“Names appear in the files released under the Act in a wide variety of contexts,” the letter noted. “For example, some individuals had extensive direct email contact with Epstein or Maxwell, while other individuals are mentioned only in a portion of a document (including press reporting) that on its face is unrelated to the Epstein or Maxwell matters.”
The letter said “No records were withheld or redacted ‘on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.'”
Politico senior legal affairs reporter Josh Gerstein shared the letter on X; you can read the full six-page document by clicking here.
It was addressed to Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), and House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD).
The Justice Department, according to the letter, worked “in consultation with victim counsel and victims directly” on what should be redacted in the files. That included “personally indentifiable information of victim or victims’ personal and medical files,” which the letter said “would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”
Saturday’s letter comes just days after Bondi was lambasted by a number of Democratic lawmakers — and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) — over her handling of Epstein-related files.
Raskin started the hearing off by accusing Bondi of “ignoring” victims and leading a “massive Epstein cover-up” that he said is the biggest failure in Justice Department history.
“You replace real prosecutors with counterfeit stooges who robotically do the president’s bidding,” Raskin said. “Nothing in American history comes close to this complete corruption of the justice function and contamination of federal law enforcement.”
Bondi got her own shots in, branding Raskin a “washed-up, loser lawyer” who was a political failure.
The Saturday letter also comes after the Justice Department released 3.5 million files on Epstein at the end of January. Trump told reporters those files “absolve” him of any wrongdoing, and they included an FBI document showing Trump thanked Florida cops and told them to “focus” on “evil” Maxwell back in 2006, among many other files.
Bondi and Blanche did not mention the letter on their social media accounts on Saturday, and there is no mention of more files — or the letter — on the Justice Department’s website.
Other famous names mentioned in the letter include: Massie, George Clooney, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), Jared Kushner, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Elon Musk, ex-Vice President Mike Pence, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D), California Rep. Eric Swalwell (D), Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former President Bill Clinton, and former Attorney General Eric Holder.
The DOJ has a dedicated “Epstein Library” hub where it has been releasing all Epstein-related files, which you can scan for yourself by clicking here.

Here are the names. Caveat Emptor: Elvis and Janice Joplin are on it.
List of AIIGovernmentOfficialsandPoliticallyExposedPersons
Below is a list of all government officials and “politically exposed persons” named or referenced in the released materials. The term “politically exposed persons” was not defined inthe Act, but consistent with Section 3 of the Act, Department reviewers were directed to notate *all government officials and politically exposed persons named or referenced” in any document, including videos and images, reviewed during this process.
This list includes (as directed by the Act) all persons where (1) they are or were a government official or politically exposed person and (2) their name appears in the files released under the Act at least once. Names appear in the files released under the Act in a wide variety of contexts. For example, some individuals had extensive direct email contact with Epstein or Maxwell while other individuals are mentioned only in a portion ofa document (including press
reporting) that on its face is unrelated to the Epstein and Maxwell matters.

Was there anyone who did not know Epstein? Bueller?
I do not see Bill Clinton on the list.
More controversy has already ensued from this.
First complaint being heard, it’s still not the missing 3 million files.
Second, the names of important accomplices were left out.
Third, names of people were included who obviously had nothing to do with Epstein, most notably his most ardent critics, like Massey, Khanna, Mace, and Taylor-Greene.
Greene said she didn’t even run for Congress until after he was dead, so how in the world could she be implicated in his files?
Seems like a good question.
Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea are there.
I did a copy and paste so it’s not a proper alphabetical list.
Without context, it’s just a smear list.
That's great. That's awesome.
I'm glad she was so through. It's good that she has done such a complete job.
And I look forward to next month when she finds additional files on her desk and releases those too.
Thatcher, Margaret
Trump, Donald
The Iron Lady got top billing over President Trump
I wanna ask Curt Cobain, Janis Joplin and Elvis about Epstein.
For me anyway, the key is the date July 6, 2006. That was when Epstein was first arrested. It was for soliciting prostitution. Underage girls were involved.
Anyone who associated with him after that date has some serious explaining to do.
Before then, it depends on the details. I guess.
Dead on.
From the article:
“… while other individuals are mentioned only in a portion of a document (including press reporting)”
EC
How long should it take to go through millions of pages of documents?
The important question....WHO CARES????
He's right under Cher.
That's a good point. You could have been in his circle before then and not known about that element. He might just be one of the many rich guys on the yacht. But afterward, he was pretty infamous.
“I do not see Bill Clinton on the list.”
Yet Melania is. The corruption and cover-ups over the years is beyond our comprehension.
At least it’s a small circle....
Go and ask them. They’re all working at a “Burger King” in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.
