Epstein survivors say latest files expose identities of victims
Epstein survivors say they have been “retraumatised” by the latest tranche of files released by the US Department of Justice, saying authorities have failed to both protect the identity of victims and release all of the relevant documents.
The final release of millions of Epstein documents includes 180,000 images and 2000 videos – the largest number shared by the US government since laws required them to be unsealed in 2025.
Among the documents are emails between Epstein and high-profile figures, including the former Prince Andrew and New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch, and correspondence with references to Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Richard Branson.

A group of 19 survivors, including Annie Farmer, Danielle Bensky, Liz Stein, Juliette Bryant, and several individuals identified as Jane Does, has urged the Department of Justice and Attorney General Pam Bondi to explain why all relevant files have not been disclosed.

“This is not over,” they emphasized in a statement.

“We will persist until the full truth is unveiled and every individual responsible is brought to justice,” the group declared.

In the United States, Democrats have criticized the recent release of approximately 3.5 million documents, noting it was delayed by six weeks beyond the deadline established by former President Donald Trump.

They highlighted previous assertions by the Justice Department that indicated there were around 6 million pertinent files yet to be released, suggesting that about 2.5 million documents remain undisclosed.

“The DOJ mentioned it identified over 6 million potentially responsive pages but has released only around 3.5 million following review and redactions,” stated Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna.

“This raises questions as to why the rest are being withheld.

“I will be reviewing closely to see if they release what I’ve been pushing for.”
