An Atlantic Divide in Responses to Epstein Files

The DOJ released over 3 million Epstein-related documents naming 300+ figures, prompting global investigations and resignations while cautioning inclusion does not imply guilt.

  • On Jan. 30, the Department of Justice released more than three million Epstein records, and on February 14, Attorney General Pam Bondi told Congress she listed over 300 high-profile names under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
  • Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, officials said the release followed Section 3 to disclose the trove's contents, noting files mix emails, press clippings, and unrelated material, and inclusion does not indicate wrongdoing.
  • Photos and emails show specific contacts, for example, Mick Jagger seated between Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton, emails referencing Barry Diller and Tommy Mottola, and a Jan. 30 photo of Brett Ratner circulated.
  • Immediate consequences include lost clients in the U.S. and formal probes abroad as U.S. public figures lose business but face no charges, while Thorbjorn Jagland is charged and the Paris prosecutor's office opens investigations.
  • Deputy Attorney‑General Todd Blanche told CNN that DOJ reviewed the files in July and found nothing prosecutable, while critics say the U.S. response is muted compared with Europe.
