What to Know About the Epstein Documents

NY Times - The Department of Justice on Friday released the largest batch of Jeffrey Epstein files to date, a giant tranche including three million more pages of documents and thousands of videos and images.

The documents shed new light on the disgraced financier’s relationships with several prominent figures, including Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. They also contain a significant number of uncorroborated tips to law enforcement.

Congress mandated the release in November, and President Trump signed the bill despite initially opposing it, as he has sought to put an end to the accusations and speculation swirling around the case. The latest batch of documents arrived weeks after a Dec. 19 deadline imposed by Congress.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the White House “had nothing to do” with vetting the released documents. “They had no oversight and they did not tell this department how to do our review and what to look for and what to redact or not redact,” he said.  Here’s what else we know about the latest release of Epstein files.
