The Justice Department published the first batch of files on Dec. 19, which consisted of five data sets containing thousands of photos of what appeared to be Epstein’s properties in Manhattan and the Virgin Islands, along with photos of Epstein’s travels — including some images of prominent figures, including former President Bill Clinton, President Trump, Mick Jagger, Woody Allen, Larry Summers and others. They have not been accused of wrongdoing.
The release also included PDF files of call logs, phone records, handwritten notes and police files.
The next day, another batch of documents was released, featuring grand jury presentations, interview transcripts, court records and an internal Justice Department transcript of an interview with the U.S. attorney involved in an earlier federal investigation into Epstein in the mid-2000s.
Some files were heavily redacted, drawing criticism from lawmakers who pushed for the release.
Then on Dec. 23, the Justice Department released a massive tranche of more than 11,000 files, totaling nearly 30,000 pages of photos, court records, emails, news clippings, videos and other records. Many of the files included mentions of Mr. Trump, though the Justice Department said some of the documents contained “untrue and sensationalist claims” about the president. The president has not been accused of wrongdoing.
Thousands of pages of materials from Epstein’s estates and other sources had already been made public prior to the Justice Department’s action.
