A fresh mugshot of Ghislaine Maxwell, the fallen financier Jeffrey Epstein’s former partner and accomplice, has surfaced as the Justice Department discloses an extensive trove of documents. Released on Friday, this image is part of the latest batch of files, amounting to millions of pages.
The mugshot, dating back to 2020, is featured in a police booking form. It was captured following her arrest in July 2020 on six charges, which include two counts related to the sexual exploitation of a minor, two counts of interstate transportation for sexual activities, and two counts of perjury.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed that the Justice Department has made more than 3 million pages connected to the Epstein investigation available to the public.
As part of this comprehensive file release, a previously unseen mugshot of Ghislaine Maxwell has been unveiled, highlighting the Justice Department’s ongoing efforts to shed light on the Jeffrey Epstein case.
“Today’s release concludes a thorough document identification and review initiative aimed at ensuring transparency for the American public and fulfilling statutory requirements. The Department has undertaken an unprecedented and extensive effort,” said Blanche. “Following the submission of the final report to Congress, as mandated, and publishing the rationale for redactions in the Federal Register, we will have fulfilled our obligations under the statute,” Blanche explained to the media.
The latest document dump, according to Blanche, includes over 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. He clarified that not all these visuals were captured by Epstein or his associates, as the collection encompasses a significant amount of commercial pornography and images seized from Epstein’s electronic devices.

“We redacted every woman depicted in any image or video, with the exception of Ms. Maxwell. We did not redact images of any men unless it was impossible to redact the woman without also redacting the man,” Blanche said.
Members of Congress will have access to “any portions of the response of production in any unredacted form” and can make arrangements with the Justice Department to review them, he added.
The DOJ found more than 6 million pages of “potentially responsive” materials, including department and FBI emails, interviews, summaries, images and videos, among other things generated during investigations, according to Blanche. While the Epstein Files Transparency Act requires the release of documents related to investigations of the late financier, it has provisions to protect victims’ privacy.

“The categories of documents withheld include those permitted under the act to be withheld, files that contain personally identifiable information of victims or victims’ personal and medical files and similar files, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy,” Blanche explained. “Any depiction of CSAM or child pornography was obviously excluded. Anything that would jeopardize an active federal investigation, and finally, anything that depicts or contain images of death, physical abuse or injury also not produced.”
Blanche’s use of the acronym CSAM refers to Child Sexual Abuse Material, the legal designation for illegal imagery involving the exploitation of minors.
The deputy attorney general also clarified that while the act allowed the department to withhold items necessary to keep secret the interests of national security or foreign policy, none were blocked on that basis.
Maxwell is currently incarcerated and serving a 20-year prison sentence.
