US Justice Department Publishes 30,000 More Epstein Files


(MENAFN) The US Justice Department has unveiled 30,000 additional documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein, though the investigation’s full disclosure remains incomplete due to continuing reviews and censorship.

"Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against (US) President (Donald) Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election," the department stated on the social media platform X.

Officials rejected the accusations as "unfounded and false," adding: "If they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already."

The department stressed that the release of these files is being carried out with legally required safeguards for Epstein’s victims, underscoring its "commitment to the law and transparency."

According to a media outlet, the documents were briefly accessible on Monday afternoon and evening but were later removed. Neither the Justice Department nor the White House explained the temporary withdrawal.

Previously, the Justice Department had published thousands of Epstein-related records under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed by Trump on November 19. Those earlier releases contained photographs of well-known individuals, grand jury testimonies, and investigative materials, though many sections were heavily censored to protect survivors.
