A victim of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein said Tuesday the partial release of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) files on the disgraced financier and the lack of naming those accused of wrongdoing were “incredibly frustrating.” The DOJ still has 5.2 million files to undergo review, according to a Reuters report Wednesday. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posted on the social platform X that lawyers from the DOJ, FBI, Southern District of Florida and Southern District of New York “are working around the clock through the holidays” to review the files. The DOJ had 30 days to release its files...

Tech-savvy sleuths have discovered a way to uncensor the heavily redacted files on notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, as the Department of Justice continues to release the documents. Some portions of the documents, initially blacked out in Adobe Acrobat by the federal agency, pop up when copied and pasted into Google Docs or Microsoft programs like Word, The Post confirmed during a test run. The Post, however, cannot confirm the veracity of the redactions.

Epstein Island was just a sideshow, what this really was about was financing Covert Ops during the 1980's and 90's This is it. The key to Epstein: Bear Stearns put him on BCCI trades in 1979, when it made millions helping the CIA, Brits, Saudis & Israelis disguise covert cash by clearing $13 billion with BCCI, a CIA money laundering bank. Epstein simply developed that clientele & career niche. The rest is history.

Summary A few Republicans join Democrats in criticizing Epstein release as inadequate Justice Department missed deadline for full Epstein file disclosure Critics say redactions fuel conspiracy theories, erode Trump support The U.S. Justice Department released a partial, heavily redacted set of Epstein-related files on December 19-20, 2025, missing a congressional deadline for full disclosure under a bipartisan law signed by President Trump in November. The release included approximately 300,000 pages of documents, photos, and materials, with extensive redactions—including entirely blacked-out sections—and featured prominent references to former President Bill Clinton but few to Trump. Criticism came from both parties: Democrats accused...

Now that Congress has passed a law – not a flimsy resolution, but a law – mandating that the Trump administration release all its files on Jeffrey Epstein, here’s what we know, and what we still need to know. The basic elements of Epstein’s crimes were established back in 2006 by the Palm Beach Police, who began investigating the previous year after a woman reported that he had paid her 14-year-old stepdaughter for a massage. Over the next 13 months, the police gathered sworn statements from dozens of witnesses, including five underage girls who said they’d been paid $200 to...

The Department of Justice faces its legally mandated deadline to release the Jeffrey Epstein files..."I expect that we're going to release several hundred thousand documents today"...Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said during an interview on Fox News.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not be releasing the full Epstein files to Congress on Friday as required under new legislation, instead sending over a partial batch. Blanche told Fox News the Justice Department would release “several hundred thousand” documents on Friday, “and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more.” Blanche attributed the delay to the need to redact any names or identifying information about witnesses, but failing to turn over the full unclassified files could run afoul of the law, which gave the department 30 days to...

While we wait for the impending release of the federal government files on Jeffrey Epstein the files of the Epstein Estate released earlier raise questions about Epstein that go beyond sex abuse and sex trafficking. Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre wrote in her posthumous memoir published after her suicide that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked her to other men including one identified in versions published in countries with lenient libel laws: "a well-known former Prime Minister" Giuffre wrote of that former Prime Minister's brutal treatment of her. One former Prime Minister does figure prominently in relation to Epstein namely... In 2016 Jeffrey...

A federal judge in Florida on Friday ordered the release of grand jury transcripts from the federal sex trafficking cases of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. U.S. District Judge Rodney Smith said a recently-passed federal law ordering the release of records related to the cases overrode a federal rule prohibiting the release of matters before a grand jury. This is a breaking news story. Check back for updates.

... Carlson pulls no punches: he traces his own journey from a Weekly Standard neoconservative to the leading voice of America First nationalism, recounting the exact moment in Baghdad in 2003 when he realized he’d been “used” to sell a disastrous war. With unflinching honesty, he admits his past mistakes, explains why he now rejects both libertarian economics and neoconservative foreign policy as “false religions,” and declares that any government not putting its own citizens first has no legitimacy. The conversation then dives into the ongoing civil war inside conservatism—paleocons vs. neocons, Buchanan vs. Buckley 2.0—and why the old gatekeepers...

A small group of women known as some of the fiercest MAGA stalwarts in the House have led the way in pushing back against President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on some of the most high-profile issues of recent months — many involving the victimization of women. These lawmakers have been on an island apart from their colleagues as they’ve called for the Department of Justice to release files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and supported a resolution to censure a fellow Republican accused of sexual misconduct. “I think we ran out of patience a...

Republican senators are warning Attorney General Pam Bondi not to slow-walk the public release of records and documents related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein following votes by the House and Senate demanding the documents. The calls come amid speculation that the Justice Department may cite ongoing investigations or other reasons to hold back material. Bondi said Wednesday that “new information” obtained by investigators had spurred the Justice Department to reverse its earlier decision to close investigations related to Epstein. Democrats are warning that new investigations into high-profile associates of Epstein, such as former President Clinton and former Treasury...

From The Hill newspaper, ‘The Epstein Files Transparency Act’: What’s in it? The article is the first one that I’ve come across that answers the question regarding the subject that has paralyzed Washington for the past week. The Act purports to mandate the release of The Epstein Files. The exceptions included in the Act swallow the rule. The Hill reports, Attorney General Pam Bondi has 30 days to “make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and...

Wallace says Giuffre met Trump several times while working at Mar-a-Lago but admitted he was NOT involved in Epstein's trafficking network. @TheDemocrats desperate scramble to smear President Trump as Epstein’s pervy pal is crashing harder than a Clinton apology tour.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said, "We have released over 33,000 Epstein documents to the Hill, and we will continue to follow the law and to have maximum transparency." She spoke at an unrelated news conference alongside FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. The bill includes several exceptions to a full release that could complicate or delay disclosure.

President Trump has said he will sign the legislation after reversing his position on whether the documents should be released. But some critics and legal experts question whether that will be the end of the matter. The House passed the bill by a vote of 427-1, with GOP Rep. Clay Higgins (La.) the only dissenter. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) backed the bill despite his opposition to the discharge petition that forced the vote. The Senate later passed it by unanimous consent, sending it to Trump for a signature. A White House official reiterated to The Hill earlier Tuesday that the...
