US EditionJustice Department faces deadline to release files on Epstein sex trafficking investigation
The Department of Justice released several hundred thousand Epstein-related documents but missed the full disclosure deadline set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
- This Friday , the U.S. Justice Department must publish Epstein-related records under the 30-day statutory deadline after President Donald Trump signed the bill, making unclassified files searchable and downloadable.

- Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the DOJ will redact victims and accusers' identities and initially release several hundred thousand documents, including photographs and FBI records and U.S. attorneys' files.
- Top Democrats in Congress threatened legal action after DOJ announced it would miss the Friday deadline, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer warned of legal and political consequences and bipartisan pushback.
- The released records could provide the most detailed public view of nearly two decades of investigations and clarify ties between Epstein and prominent figures, but the Justice Department's July finding limits expectations for new prosecutions.
