Millions of new files relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), marking the largest number of documents shared since a law mandated their release. On Friday, three million pages, 180,000 images, and 2,000 videos were made public, following six weeks of delays past the initial deadline set by legislation signed by former US President Donald Trump.

Today's release marks the end of a very comprehensive document identification and review process to ensure transparency to the American people and compliance, stated Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

Among the documents are details of Epstein's time in prison, including a psychological report and investigation records concerning Ghislaine Maxwell, his associate. The files also encompass emails with numerous high-profile figures and detail connections, including those to Britain's elite.

The release includes controversial details, such as emails between Epstein and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, discussing private dinners and offering introductions to women, raising questions about Prince Andrew's connections with Epstein after his 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.

Moreover, the documents revealed Epstein's communication with various high-ranking individuals, including Elon Musk, who inquired about parties on Epstein's island, and Bill Gates, whose spokesperson dismissed claims within the documents as absurd and false. The release has drawn significant criticism regarding the identification of victims, with lawyer Gloria Allred stating it devastated many survivors by disclosing their confidential information.

While the DOJ has stated the release concludes their obligations under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, concerns remain about potentially withheld documents, amid allegations of a conspiracy to shield powerful individuals connected to Epstein.

As the public digests the implications of this new information, the fallout from the revelations continues, keeping the spotlight on high-profile connections and the justice system's handling of Epstein-related cases.
