The U.S. Department of Justice released part of the Epstein case archive

The U.S. Department of Justice has published the first portion of documents related to the case of financier Jeffrey Epstein. The released materials contain names and photographs of well-known politicians, entertainment figures, and public personalities, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger, Diana Ross, and actor Chris Tucker.

Photographs involving Bill Clinton date back to the 1990s and were taken before Epstein’s first arrest.

The documents contain no claims of Clinton’s involvement in criminal activity, and none of the alleged victims have brought accusations against him.

Prince Andrew, also mentioned in the archive, continues to deny any connection to Epstein’s illegal activities.

The published materials also mention current U.S. President Donald Trump. One civil lawsuit refers to an alleged meeting with a 14-year-old girl at the Mar-a-Lago residence. At the same time, the documents state that the alleged victim does not bring accusations against Trump, and his mention in the archive is limited and not accompanied by accusatory language.

Less than a day after publication, the U.S. Department of Justice removed at least 16 files from its official website. These included photographs of the interiors of Epstein’s mansion, images of paintings depicting nude women, as well as a photograph featuring Donald Trump, his wife Melania, and Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former associate. The reasons for the removal of the files were not officially explained.

The department stated that the thousands of pages released represent only part of the archive. Hundreds of thousands of additional documents are still undergoing review in order to protect victims’ personal data and information related to ongoing investigations. Many materials were published with significant redactions and blackouts, complicating their analysis. The publication of the archive is ongoing.
