In the fortified corridors of Washington’s Justice Department, an unprecedented storm is brewing: over 400 DOJ attorneys and more than 100 elite FBI analysts are locked in round-the-clock reviews of more than 2 million unreleased documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous sex trafficking investigations.
This massive escalation—pulling experts from national security and criminal divisions—comes after the discovery of vast new troves of files, including videos, photos, and records spanning decades, all mandated for disclosure under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
While only a fraction has trickled out so far, heavily redacted pages already hint at deeper ties among the powerful, fueling survivor outrage and public demands for unfiltered truth.
As the review intensifies, the capital braces for revelations that could shatter illusions of untouchability.
Will this finally expose the full network—or bury more secrets?
In the fortified corridors of Washington’s Justice Department, an unprecedented storm is brewing: over 400 DOJ attorneys and more than 100 elite FBI analysts are locked in round-the-clock reviews of more than 2 million unreleased documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous sex trafficking investigations.
This massive escalation—described as the largest review effort in recent history—follows the discovery of vast new troves of files, including videos, photos, flight logs, interrogation records, and materials spanning decades from investigations in Florida and New York. As of January 9, 2026, the DOJ acknowledges the total could reach over 5.2 million pages, while only about 125,575 pages (12,285 documents) have been released—less than 1% of the overall collection.
The surge stems from the Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed nearly unanimously by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump on November 19, 2025, requiring the release of all non-classified records by December 19, 2025. Weeks after the missed deadline, progress remains slow, with thousands of pages heavily redacted—primarily to protect victim identities. Initial releases have included old photos of former President Bill Clinton with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell (serving a 20-year sentence), 1990s flight logs noting Trump’s flights on Epstein’s private jet with family members, and mentions of other prominent figures like Mick Jagger or Kevin Spacey—though the DOJ repeatedly stresses no evidence of wrongdoing.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Todd Blanche maintain that the process prioritizes victim protection, with a team of over 400 attorneys (many reassigned from national security and serious crime cases) and 100 FBI specialists working nonstop. They promise further releases in the coming weeks after uncovering over a million additional pages late last year.
While only a small fraction has been disclosed so far, the heavily redacted pages already hint at deeper ties, sparking outrage from survivors and public demands for unfiltered truth. Attorneys representing victims argue that piecemeal releases cause additional trauma and conceal the true scale of the network that abused hundreds of underage girls.
Bipartisan lawmakers—including bill co-authors Thomas Massie (Republican) and Ro Khanna (Democrat)—have sharply criticized the delays, proposing a court-appointed “special master” to oversee compliance and threatening contempt proceedings against Bondi. Democrats accuse intentional obstruction, while some Republicans express discontent over the slowdown ahead of the 2026 midterms.
As the review intensifies, the nation’s capital braces for revelations that could shatter illusions of untouchability among the elite. The American public and the world await whether this will finally expose the full dark network Epstein built—or merely bury more secrets beneath layers of redactions and delays.
