In a shocking court admission just days into 2026, Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice revealed they’ve released less than 1% of Jeffrey Epstein’s files—leaving over 2 million documents sealed, in direct violation of a bipartisan law signed by President Trump mandating full transparency by December 2025.
Epstein’s brave survivors, who endured years of pain to demand justice, now voice heartbreak and fury as the DOJ hides behind “victim privacy” claims for massive redactions and slow reviews, even after “discovering” additional millions of records post-deadline.
Bipartisan sponsors Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie blast Bondi for defiance, threatening contempt charges and fines as accusations fly that powerful elites are being shielded.
What damning truths about Epstein’s network remain buried—and will Congress finally pry them loose?
Just days into 2026, the Department of Justice (DOJ) under Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a court admission that has sparked outrage across party lines: only less than 1% of over 2 million documents related to Jeffrey Epstein have been released. This directly violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bipartisan law passed nearly unanimously by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump on November 19, 2025, which required full disclosure of non-classified records by December 19, 2025.
In a letter to a federal court in New York dated January 6, 2026, Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted that just 12,285 documents (approximately 125,575 pages) have been made public. Meanwhile, over 2 million pages—potentially up to 5.2 million by some estimates—remain sealed and in various stages of review.
Brave survivors of Epstein—the notorious sex trafficker who died in prison in 2019—who endured years of pain to advocate for justice, now express deep heartbreak and fury at this perceived betrayal. They argue that the DOJ’s constant reliance on “victim privacy” to justify massive redactions and endless delays is merely an excuse, especially as the department continues to discover over a million additional pages of records after the deadline.
Bipartisan sponsors of the bill, Rep. Ro Khanna (Democrat, California) and Rep. Thomas Massie (Republican, Kentucky), have harshly criticized Bondi for defiance, accusing her of shielding powerful figures. They have threatened contempt charges, potentially including fines, and even suggested appointing a court-supervised “special master” to ensure compliance, while building a cross-party coalition to hold her accountable.
Initial releases included old photos of former President Bill Clinton with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell (serving a 20-year sentence), 1990s flight logs mentioning Trump, and references to other prominent names—though the DOJ emphasizes no evidence of wrongdoing. However, dense redactions have fueled suspicions of selective disclosure.
Nicknamed the “Epstein Bomb” for its potential to expose decades of elite complicity in a network that abused hundreds of underage girls, this trove continues to expose deep fractures in Washington over transparency and accountability. The dark shadow of Epstein’s influence network still haunts America’s power elite.
