On January 30, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released a massive final tranche of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, totaling more than 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images. This disclosure was mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law in late 2025.Â
Emails from 2012–2014 show Musk appearing “keen” to visit Epstein’s private island, asking about the “wildest party” dates and suggesting his then-wife Talulah Riley might join him. Musk previously claimed he refused such invitations.
The release contains an FBI list from 2025 documenting numerous unverified and “sensationalist” tips alleging sexual abuse by Trump. The White House and DOJ dismissed these claims as unfounded and false.
Documents include draft emails by Epstein alleging Gates had extramarital affairs and sought medicine for “consequences of sex with Russian girls”. A spokesperson for Gates called the claims “absolutely absurd and completely false”.
Emails from 2010 between Epstein and an account signed “A” (appearing to be Prince Andrew) discussed private dinners at Buckingham Palace and an offer from Epstein to introduce him to a 26-year-old Russian woman.
Emails show the current U.S. Commerce Secretary planned to visit Epstein’s island in 2012, despite public claims that he had cut ties in 2005.A 32-count draft indictment from the 2000s reveals that Florida prosecutors once considered charging three of Epstein’s personal assistants for conspiracy to entice minors.Â
A group of survivors condemned the release as a “betrayal,” claiming their names were exposed while those of powerful enablers remained hidden. Lawmakers like Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) noted that while the DOJ identified 6 million responsive pages, only 3.5 million have been released, raising questions about the withheld documents.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the files do not contain a specific “client list” and that no new prosecutions are currently planned based on these records.
