DOJ Releases More Epstein Files After Blowing Deadline, Says Some Documents Contain False Claims

DOJ Releases More Epstein Files After Blowing Deadline, Says Some Documents Contain False Claims After missing a Friday deadline to release 'all' of the 'Epstein Files,' nuking several files containing images of President Donald Trump (before restoring them!), and heavily redacting most of what came out (which can apparently be un-redacted to reveal salacious claims against Trump), the DOJ on Tuesday morning released nearly 30,000 additional pages according to a statement posted on X, which also warned that some of the claims made in the documents against Trump are 'untrue and sensationalist.' " Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election," reads the post.

Over the weekend, Deputy AG Todd Blanche said that the DOJ is working to make redactions to files to protect possible Epstein victims, telling NBC 's "Meet the Press" on Sunday "The reason why we are still reviewing documents and still continuing our process is simply that to protect victims," adding that the DOJ is "going through a very methodical process with hundreds of lawyers looking at every single document and making sure that victims’ names and any of the information from victims is protected and redacted, which is exactly what the [Epstein Files] Transparency Act expects." Except, apparently it's amateur hour at the DOJ... many of the "redacted" PDFs from the epstein files aren't actually redacted, they just have black boxes drawn over text. the underlying data is fully extractable. - celeste (@vmfunc) this is an example. in this case it's just photo processing paperwork from a palm beach camera shop pic.twitter.com/kjFVMHJuF9 December 23, 2025 In a Saturday evening statement , the DOJ wrote that it had re-released 119 pages of materials that had been entirely...
