DOJ releases Epstein files, including evidence list revealing recovered items and redacted victim identities; scrutiny over withheld documents continues.
In Short
The Department of Justice released files about Jeffrey Epstein, including evidence from Ghislaine Maxwell’s case and previously undisclosed items from Epstein’s properties. Attorney General Pam Bondi is investigating the alleged withholding of documents related to Epstein and expects more information to be released.
The Department of Justice released files concerning Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday. The materials include prosecution pilot logs from Ghislaine Maxwell’s case, with redactions to protect victim identities. Epstein’s previously public “black book” is also part of the release.
A significant new document is the “Evidence List,” detailing items found in searches of Epstein’s properties in New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Investigators retrieved items including a CD labelled “girl pics nude book 4” and a folder titled “LSJ logbook,” linked to Epstein’s private island.
Additionally, a bag was found containing a yellow envelope marked ‘SK’ with $17,115 in U.S. currency, dated August 27, 2008, the same time Epstein was jailed in Florida. The evidence list features numerous electronic devices, a brown bust sculpture, personal items such as vibrators and massage tables, and various photo albums, including one labelled “photo album of girl and Epstein.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi has requested an investigation into the alleged withholding of documents related to Epstein. She has sought access to all files pertaining to him, following reports of thousands of pages that were not previously released by the FBI’s New York field office.
Bondi has indicated that more documents from the Justice Department are forthcoming.
