Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that all of the Epstein files have been released in accordance with with Section 3 of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. 

The Trump administration has been drip-releasing millions of emails, photos and documents relating to the case against disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Bondi included a list of 300 high-profile individuals – including Donald Trump, Bill Gates, and Kim Kardashian – that have showed up in the files published by the Department of Justice.

Her letter to Congress, released on February 14, included the list of people who ‘are or were a government official or politically exposed person’ and were also named ‘in the files released under the Act at least once.’

Federal workers spent countless hours sifting through the data and releasing them in batches across December and January.

The Epstein files have had a cataclysmic impact on society – forcing top-tier businessmen and academics to resign from their posts, triggering high-profile marriages to break, and signaling the downfall of dignitaries like Britain’s Prince Andrew – who was stripped of his royal titles in the collateral damage.  

The names, from politicians like the Obamas to singers like Bruce Springsteen, appear in a ‘wide variety of contexts,’ Bondi and Todd Blanche, her deputy, noted.

Being named in the Epstein files does not assume any guilt or wrongdoing connected to Epstein’s heinous child sex crimes.

The list published on Saturday included Barbra Streisand, Keir Starmer, Amy Schumer, Jeff Zucker, Benjamin Netanyahu, Princess Diana and Margaret Thatcher. 

Diana Ross, Melinda Gates, Tucker Carlson, Beyonce, and Meghan Markle are also included in Bondi’s list.

The letter added: ‘No records were withheld or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.’ 

The Epstein Files Transparency Act, which the Department of Justice is following after Trump signed it into law on November 19, 2025, calls for the public release of all unclassified records relating to Epstein and his convicted madame, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Under the law, the only elements of the files allowed to be redacted are those protecting victims’ identities, active investigation details, and child sexual abuse material.

The FBI estimated that there are more than 1,000 Epstein victims in total.  

In Bondi’s letter on Saturday, she explained that all of the files relating to the law have been released, which have been categorized into nine different sections.

The categories spelled out by the Justice Department are: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, flight logs or travel records, individuals named in connection with Epstein’s criminal activities, details on corporate, nonprofit, academic or governmental entities with ties to Epstein, immunity deals involving Epstein and his associates, internal DOJ communications, all communications relating to the destruction of evidence relating to Epstein, and finally, documentation of Epstein’s detention and death. 

Bondi then explained what has been withheld during the Epstein files release.

The identity of someone who sent a disturbing email to Epstein is redacted. It was released in one of the many file drops between November and February 

The letter stated: ‘The only category of records withheld were those records where permitted withholdings under Section 2(c) and privileged materials were not segregable from material responsive under Section 2(a).

‘As discussed in the Department’s December 19, 2025, and January 29, 2026, letters to Congress (the Prior EFTA Letters), the privileges that applied to the withheld records were deliberative-process privilege, work-product privilege, and attorney-client privilege.’

Section 2(c) allows the withholding of information that may detriment victim privacy, child sexual abuse material, an active investigation, graphic content, or national security. 

It then reiterated that no records were withheld or redacted to spare high-profile individuals from ’embarrassment.’

Bondi’s letter on February 14 was sent to Congress as part of a requirement related to the Act. She was ordered to inform and update them within 15 days of completing the release of all the files.  

As part of the drops on January 30, the US Department of Justice published a tranche of over three million files.

More than 180,000 images and 2,000 videos – or 14 hours of footage – were included in the release, giving the public a glimpse into the sordid operation the serial pedophile ran.

The files show how the disgraced financier solicited explicit, self-filmed from young women as a matter of habit, with several of the clips featuring girls in a state of undress.

In many, the young women are seen performing sexual acts in their bedrooms, often featuring the same large teddy bear in frame.

In one video, the pedophile is seen forcibly exposing an unidentified woman’s breasts to the camera, despite multiple attempts from her to remove his hands away.

Also released in the files were several pornography films the American millionaire presumably downloaded onto his personal computer, including a vintage video entitled ‘Tiny Bubbles’, featuring Japanese adult entertainer Azari Kumiko.

Epstein also made young girls perform in semi-clothed catwalk auditions, lending evidence to the theory that the financier lured victims into his control by masquerading as a Victoria’s Secret talent scout.

Other disturbing clips show Epstein dancing alongside potential victims, as well as him enjoying private ‘entertainment’ by unclothed young females in a red-paneled study in his Paris home.

Several of the disturbing clips showing young girls stripping in their bedrooms seem to feature the same stuffed animal – a large, brown teddy bear.

The Daily Mail has edited the footage to further conceal the victims’ identities, in addition to the redactions already put in place by the DOJ.

Other heinous parts of the files include emails between Epstein and his associates – alluding to alleged victims being abused, and the young ages of the girls in the financier’s orbit.

One of the earliest such email redactions, chronologically, came on April 24, 2009, when Epstein sent an email to an associate saying: ‘where are you? are you ok I loved the torture video.’

The unnamed person, replying from their BlackBerry, wrote: ‘I am in china I will be in the US 2nd week of may.’

Epstein responded: ‘Hope to see you.’ 

Another controversial redaction features in a 2014 email in which the sender, whose identity is protected, told Epstein: ‘Thank you for a fun night… Your littlest girl was a little naughty.’

That email was sent on March 11, 2014, from an iPhone to Epstein’s account jeevacation@gmail.com.

Everything in the email is readable except for the name of the sender, which is covered with two black bars.

The email was sent six years after Epstein was jailed for procuring a minor for prostitution. 

On March 19, 2018, another redacted associate sent Epstein an email saying: ‘I found at least 3 very good young poor but we was so tired. I will cover up this week. Meet this one, not the beauty queen but we both likes her a lot.’

The files also contained a draft indictment from 20 years ago, which was drawn up before Epstein obtained a lenient 2008 plea deal for sex crimes in which he served 13 months.

The 56-page draft indictment listed three people as co-conspirators employed by Epstein, but their names are redacted.
