The Epstein Files Trump’s DOJ Didn’t Mean to Show You
The Epstein Files Transparency Act required full release of all unclassified DOJ Epstein records by December 19, 2025. To date, DOJ has released two partial, heavily redacted sets, still withholding an untold number of documents in multiple formats, and no schedule of release has been made public. In addition, the DOJ removed and added additional redactions, to at least 16 documents that had been released.
A couple of notes –
1) The Department of Justice is communicating to the public – using X– formerly Twitter – primarily owned by Trump ally, supporter, and patron, Elon Musk (as well as a Saudi prince and other investors.) Prior to January 20, 2025, the DOJ used their respective official government website, not a privately owned social media outlet where they issue statements clearly professing Bondi’s vast organization works solely for Mr. Trump, not the American public.
2) The DOJ has stated they will release (read dump, with no functioning search engine, metadata tagging, identification of locations, identity of persons in photos, dates of the photos, or requisite document management structure) as many as 700,000 more pages to review, per Axios – before it finishes releasing “all the Jeffrey Epstein files.”
See also analysis and commentary by Dean Blundell, December 23, 2025 – 3) the facts discussed in this analysis may be triggering, and although redacted, describe horrific criminal behavior and sex trafficking. Blundell also uses foul language to describe specific documents and corresponding actions:
“DOJ Accidentally Dropped “DATA SET 8” Last Night: The Epstein Files Trump’s DOJ Didn’t Mean to Show You. First-hand abuse claims. Hidden flight records. Disappearing documents. And why dictators always fail at cover-ups. Buried inside FBI intake summaries are direct allegations describing Trump as an active participant in abuse alongside Jeffrey Epstein.
- Not rumors.
- Not internet speculation.
- Federal intake records.
One report documents a witness recounting Trump speaking openly about “abusing some girl” while on the phone — repeatedly referencing Epstein by name…” There are numerous documents cited in this posting, along with copies of referenced FBI files that incriminate others specifically involved with Jeffrey Epstein.
This information is significant as “in September 2025, FBI Director Kash Pateltold lawmakers that internal bureau records contained “no credible information” that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked young women to anyone other than Epstein himself.”
In point of fact, we know now that Patel lied under oath. DATA Set 8 peels away at the deep layers of the onion to reveal many of the participants not only in Epstein’s long term, cross border sex trafficking operations, but also of individuals around the world who participated with him in committing financial fraud and money laundering.

Also, via Narativ.org: “What’s Missing. The FBI has 300 gigabytes of data from Epstein’s properties. Forty computers. Seventy CDs. Twenty-six storage drives. Six recording devices. Visitor logs from Little St. James. In July, WIRED analyzed the prison surveillance footage the DOJ released as “raw.” It had been edited in Adobe Premiere Pro, assembled from multiple clips. A “missing minute” AG Bondi blamed on a system reset was actually 2 minutes and 53 seconds. The camera on Epstein’s cell door wasn’t recording. Neither was the camera on one elevator bay to his floor…”
