"The Justice Department on Friday released many more records from its investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein, resuming disclosures under a law intended to reveal what the government knew about the millionaire financier's sexual abuse of young girls and his interactions with rich and powerful people such as Donald Trump and Bill Clinton. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the department would be releasing more than 3 million pages of documents in the latest Epstein disclosure, as well as more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images."
"The files, posted to the department's website, include some of the several million pages of records that officials said were withheld from an initial release in December. Included in the batch were records concerning some of Epstein's famous associates, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Britain's Prince Andrew, as well as email correspondence between Epstein and Elon Musk and other prominent contacts from across the political spectrum."
"The documents were disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the law enacted after months of public and political pressure that requires the government to open its files on the late financier and his confidant and onetime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. Lawmakers complained when the Justice Department made only a limited release last month, but officials said more time was needed to review an additional trove of documents that was discovered and to scour the records to ensure no sensitive information about victims was inadvertently released."

Materials include files about prominent associates such as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (Prince Andrew) and email correspondence between Epstein and figures including Elon Musk. The documents were disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act enacted after months of public and political pressure. The release followed an extended review intended to protect sensitive victim information and ensure legal compliance.
