Epstein documents live: DOJ publishes 3 millions of new pages from the case files
Epstein survivors release statement condemning 'incomplete' file releaseSurvivors of Jeffrey Epstein Survivors have issued a joint statement condemning the incomplete release of the files.“Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous,” the statement, released Friday, said.“As survivors, we should never be the ones named, scrutinized, and retraumatized while Epstein’s enablers continue to benefit from secrecy. This is a betrayal of the very people this process is supposed to serve.“The Justice Department cannot claim it is finished releasing files until every legally required document is released and every abuser and enabler is fully exposed.” The survivors demanded to hear from Attorney general Pam Bondi, who is scheduled to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on February 11. “Survivors deserve answers, and the public deserves the truth,” the statement added.“This is not over. We will not stop until the truth is fully revealed and every perpetrator is finally held accountable. As we have always said, this is not about politics. We hope Democrats and Republicans will stand with survivors in continuing to demand the full release of the Epstein files.”Mike Bedigan31 January 2026 00:30US Commerce Secretary and family visited Epstein's island in 2012, documents suggestHoward Lutnick and his family took a trip to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in 2012, according to the latest release of documents.Last year Lutnick claimed that he and his wife had been so “revolted” by Epstein around 2005 that they had come to the decision to “never be in a room with that disgusting person ever again”.When asked about the alleged 2012 trip, a Commerce spokesperson said: "This is nothing more than a failing attempt by the legacy media to distract from the administration’s accomplishments including securing Trillions of dollars in investment, delivering historic trade deals, and fighting for the American worker. “Secretary Lutnick had limited interactions with Mr. Epstein in the presence of his wife and has never been accused of wrongdoing." Being mentioned in the Epstein files does not mean a person is accused of wrongdoing.Mike Bedigan31 January 2026 00:00Video in new Epstein files release shows prison cell Video in new Epstein files release shows prison cellMike Bedigan30 January 2026 23:30Andrew invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace and emailed him about ‘beautiful girl’, files showGhislaine Maxwell emailed an address signed “A” – believed to be Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor – calling him “sweet pea”, according to the latest batch of Epstein files.The email is one of more than 3 million documents published by the US Department of Justice on Friday relating to disgraced paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.Read the full story from Rebecca Whittaker here:Mike Bedigan30 January 2026 23:00Epstein invited Woody Allen for a 'White House trip' messages showText messages in the latest batch of files show a 2015 text message exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and Woody Allen, in which the financier invites the filmmaker to a “day museum White house trip.”Allen replies, "With my rap sheet I'll never get past security."It is unclear if Epstein had meant a visit to meet someone at the White House, which at the time was under the Obama administration, or a tourist trip.Being mentioned in the Epstein files does not mean a person is accused of wrongdoing. Allen has not been charged with any crimes associated with Epstein.Mike Bedigan30 January 2026 22:27Former Obama advisor described Epstein as like an 'older brother'Kathryn Ruemmler, a former counsel to president Barack Obama, described Jeffrey Epstein as “like having another older brother,” according to text exchanges with the financier’s assistant.“He considers you a very good friend.

You say all the documents are released. Does that include ALL of the co-conspirator memos, the corporate protection memos, the original Palm Beach Police Department reports, etc.? 2. Has all the relevant information been released on each of the 10 alleged Epstein co-conspirators? 3. Your numbers keep changing. You say you collected 6 million pages but you’re only releasing 3 million. What’s in the 3 million that are missing? 4. Has every document that mentions the word Trump been released?Mike Bedigan30 January 2026 21:05DOJ says documents include 'untrue and sensationalist claims' about TrumpIn a press release accompanying Friday’s file release, the DOJ warned that the tranche contained “untrue and sensationalist claims” about Donald Trump.“This production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents or videos, as everything that was sent to the FBI by the public was included in the production that is responsive to the Act,” the department wrote.“Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. “To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”Mike Bedigan30 January 2026 20:45Epstein sent £10,000 to Mandelson’s husband after his release from prison, files revealJeffrey Epstein sent £10,000 to Lord Mandelson’s husband, Reinaldo Avila da Silva, according to a tranche of newly released documents.An exchange of emails published by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) reveals that Mandelson’s husband asked Epstein for money to fund an osteopathy course and other related expenses in September 2009, around two months after the billionaire paedophile was released from prison.Rebecca Whittaker30 January 2026 20:30
