Key Points

  • The Department of Justice on Monday released another batch of files released to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
  • The release comes amid intense scrutiny from congressional lawmakers and victims over the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files.
  • A law that advanced out of Congress and was signed by President Donald Trump in November required all documents to be released by Dec. 19, though the DOJ said it would continue making the files public through the end of the year.

The Department of Justice on Tuesday released another batch of files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The latest documents appear to contain court records, emails, and some heavily or completely redacted files.

In a Tuesday morning post to X, the DOJ announced the latest drop and claimed to have released "nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein." The post also refers to claims made against President Donald Trump in the latest release.

"Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election," the post states. "To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already."

Trump, who was largely absent from the DOJ's release of files on Friday, is a former friend of Epstein's and has long denied any wrongdoing related to the disgraced New York financier. Epstein died by suicide while in detention in 2019.
