The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has released more than 300,000 pages of records from its investigations into the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The files, released on Friday local time, included several photos of former Democratic US president Bill Clinton, which could conflict with DOJ policy not to release material related to ongoing investigations.
US President Donald Trump, a Republican, has ordered the DOJ to investigate Clinton’s ties to Epstein, in what critics viewed as an effort to shift the focus away from his own relationship with Epstein.
Other images feature Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger and former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
But the files appeared to include few if any photos of Trump or documents mentioning him, despite Trump and Epstein’s well-publicised friendship in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Reuters is currently examining the documents.

A photo depicts Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly a prince, sprawled across multiple people’s laps, with Ghislaine Maxwell standing in the background. This image is provided by the US Justice Department.

Interestingly, there is a notable omission of any references to Donald Trump, even though images and documents concerning him have been emerging from prior Epstein-related releases over the years.

Another image features Mick Jagger alongside Bill Clinton and an unidentified woman, with her identity concealed. This image is also sourced from the US Justice Department.

The release follows months of political wrangling amid rebellion by some of President Donald Trump’s staunchest supporters over his administration’s reluctance to make public all records tied to probes into Epstein.

It was not immediately clear how substantive the new materials were, given that many Epstein-related documents have previously been made public since his 2019 death in jail, which was ruled a suicide.

The DOJ added a note to the webpage where it posted links to the documents that said “all reasonable efforts have been made” to redact victims’ personal information, but warned that some could be disclosed inadvertently.

Trump had initially urged fellow Republicans in Congress to oppose the new law, warning that releasing potentially sensitive internal investigative records could set a dangerous precedent.

But many Trump voters accused his administration of covering up Epstein’s ties to powerful figures and obscuring details surrounding his death, which was ruled a suicide, in a Manhattan jail in 2019.

Not all documents released

Deputy attorney general Todd Blanche said the initial batch of documents would be followed by additional releases, leaving open the possibility that Trump could feature more prominently in later disclosures.
Trump ordered the DOJ last month to investigate Clinton’s ties to Epstein, in what critics viewed as an effort to shift the focus away from his own relationship with Epstein.

The DOJ added a note to the webpage where it posted links to the documents that said “all reasonable efforts have been made” to redact victims’ personal information, but warned that some could be disclosed inadvertently.

In a letter to Congress, Blanche estimated it would take an additional two weeks for the department to review other documents for potential release.
There are more than 1,200 names identified as victims or their relatives in the files, he added.
In a statement on Friday, the White House claimed the release demonstrated its transparency and commitment to justice for Epstein’s victims, criticising previous Democratic administrations for not doing the same.
