The U.S. Department of Justice releases 3 million pages of Epstein investigation documents, revealing high-level interactions, island invitations, and unprosecuted details.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Friday the release of over 3 million pages of investigation documents related to billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, including more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. This marks the second major declassification wave under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, revealing intricate connections between the sex offender and celebrities, politicians, as well as previously undisclosed details.

However, multiple members of Congress and victim groups have pointed out that these documents are still far from sufficient, retaining many black boxes and ambiguous gaps, raising doubts that the government is still protecting powerful figures.

Epstein’s interactions with high-profile elites exposed: Bannon, Musk, and Princes appear in the documents

Bannon and Epstein frequently exchanged private messages, even discussing the use of private jets

Declassified documents show that former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon had intensive communications with Epstein in 2019, discussing gatherings, breakfasts, and political issues. Bannon even requested to use Epstein’s private plane to pick him up from Rome, to which Epstein replied, “I can come pick you up for dinner.”

The two also apparently collaborated on preparing a documentary to repair Epstein’s public image.

Did Musk also plan to visit the island?

The documents also include Elon Musk’s communications with Epstein in 2012 and 2013, expressing interest in visiting his private island “Little Saint James.” While there is no clear evidence that Musk actually made the trip, he has publicly stated that he “repeatedly declined invitations to the island.”

British former prince Andrew appears hundreds of times, but investigations have not been conducted

Accused of sexual assault, Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) had multiple dinners with Epstein. The Department of Justice had requested to take sworn testimony from him, but he ultimately refused through his lawyer. Records show he maintained contact with Epstein until before 2018.

New declassified documents reveal: The U.S. nearly prosecuted Epstein and his assistants in 2007

An unreleased federal indictment draft from 2007 indicates that, besides Epstein himself, three individuals with redacted names were accused of assisting in recruiting underage girls for sexual acts. However, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alexander Acosta, ultimately negotiated a plea deal that allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges, serving only 18 months for soliciting prostitution.

Mansion rules akin to military camp: 58-page employee manual reveals startling details

Air conditioning set at 15.5°C, guns hidden in bedside tables

Staff at the Florida estate had to follow extremely strict rules, including language restrictions (forbidding phrases like “you bet,” “I dunno”), keeping toothpaste at least half full, paper towels more than one-third used, and carrying $100 cash and water bottles in the car. The master bedroom required pre-prepared guns, and the air conditioning was maintained at 15.5°C.

Shocking details in massage room cleaning procedures

A staff member’s testimony describes frequently seeing used sex toys, tissues, and condoms after massages, and being required to clean them. He stated that Epstein ordered him to prepare shopping and deliver flowers to high school girls, suspecting some of them were under 18.

It’s not just celebrities: thousands of documents and communications mention Trump

While there are no direct charges, numerous emails and messages mention former President Trump, including Epstein’s comments on Trump’s policies, gossip, and political observations. A form established in 2025 records reports from the public about possible connections between Trump and Epstein, though most have not been verified.

Epstein even warned in a letter that Democrats should not compare Trump to gangsters, claiming he “possesses truly dangerous power.”

Public skepticism about the Justice Department: Only half of the documents released, are the real secrets still hidden?

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted that only 3.5 million pages out of the confirmed 6 million pages have been released, with “tens of thousands” redacted due to victim privacy, attorney communications, and confidential information. He emphasized that no materials were withheld on national security grounds.

Democratic lawmakers Ro Khanna and Robert Garcia criticized this as “incomplete justice,” calling for the DOJ to release the “full, unredacted” files.

Victims condemn the government’s “another betrayal”

A statement from the team of the late victim Virginia Giuffre said, “This is not transparency, but another betrayal of victims.” They pointed out that the real perpetrators remain hidden, while victims’ identities are exposed publicly.

They vowed, “We will not stop until every perpetrator is exposed and held accountable.”

Could deeper dark secrets still be hidden? Upcoming disclosures may include:

• More visitor lists from Epstein’s island
• Unreleased FBI victim interview records
• Financial and academic links with Harvard University
• Complete surveillance footage of the 2019 death in prison

The Department of Justice stated that some documents are still not public and will continue discussions with courts and victims’ lawyers to determine the release schedule.
