The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Friday, January 30, 2026, the release of nearly three million documents related to Jeffrey Epstein—the final batch required under a November 2025 law mandating full public disclosure by December 19, 2025. This release includes over 2,000 videos and 180,000 photographs, most classified as pornographic material. U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed that faces of women depicted—except convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell—have been redacted. Among the newly disclosed files is an August 2010 email exchange between Epstein and Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor), referencing a ‘beautiful’ 26-year-old Russian woman whom Epstein proposed for dinner. Other emails reveal Prince Andrew invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace in September 2010. A photo surfaced showing a framed portrait of billionaire Bill Gates beside two women whose features are obscured. Earlier releases since late December included tens of thousands of heavily redacted pages—part of over five million total pages collected by New York prosecutors and federal law enforcement. While prior disclosures illuminated aspects of Epstein’s trafficking network, they raised more questions than answers—particularly regarding potential accomplices beyond Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence. The bipartisan push for transparency followed initial hesitations from former President Donald Trump’s administration.
