The U.S. Justice Department has made public a substantial batch of additional records from its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, meeting requirements under a law aimed at revealing what the government knew about the financier’s sexual exploitation of minors and his connections to high-profile figures.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the release includes over 3 million pages of documents, more than 2,000 videos, and roughly 180,000 images. The files, now available on the department’s website, supplement records that were not included in an initial release last December.

Among the newly disclosed materials are references to Epstein’s associates, including Britain’s Prince Andrew, along with email exchanges involving Elon Musk and other prominent figures from political and business circles.

The disclosures are part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, enacted after widespread public and political pressure, requiring the government to make records related to Epstein and his former associate and girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, publicly available.

Lawmakers expressed frustration over last month’s partial release, but officials said additional time was necessary to review the documents and ensure no sensitive information about victims was exposed.
