Three million pages from Jeffrey Epstein files released

He said: “Today we are producing more than 3 million pages, including more than 2000 videos, and 180,000 images."

Mr Blanche added: “They include large quantities of commercial pornography and images that were seized from Epstein’s devices, but which he did not take, or that someone around him did not take.

“Some of the videos, though, and some of the images, do appear to be taken by Mr Epstein or by others around him.”

Mr Blanche clarified that the visual materials do not exclusively originate from Epstein or his associates.

He added: "The 2,000 videos and 180,000 images are not all videos and images taken by Mr Epstein or someone around him.

"They include large quantities of commercial pornography and images."

The administration faced a statutory obligation to disclose all documentation concerning the convicted paedophile, who was found dead in his prison cell in 2019, by December 19, 2025.

Despite this legal requirement, only a small portion of the total files has been made public.

Critics have levelled accusations of a cover-up against the White House, pointing to the missed deadline and incomplete disclosure.

The gap between what was legally mandated and what has actually been released has fuelled ongoing concerns about transparency surrounding the Epstein case.

However, the Department of Justice dismissed speculation that Donald Trump had been protected ahead of the release of new documents.

“That was never the case...We said that we were not legally allowed to release documents. That’s a fact. That was true. It remains true today,” Mr Blanche said.

The US Justice Department review process identified over six million pages as potentially relevant to the inquiry, Blanche explained.

This vast collection comprises FBI and departmental emails, summaries of interviews, visual materials and other documentation gathered across numerous investigations and prosecutions covered by the legislation.

According to correspondence sent to Congress on Friday, the released files draw from primary sources accumulated over two decades.

These encompass the Florida and New York prosecutions of Epstein, the case against Ghislaine Maxwell, probes into Epstein's death, and several FBI investigations.

The department has additionally sought court approval to disclose materials currently protected by orders from civil litigation and grand jury proceedings involving corrections officers.

Certain categories of material were kept from public view, including personal and medical records, imagery depicting death, physical harm or injury, and any content showing child sexual abuse that might compromise ongoing federal investigations.

Mr Blanche indicated the department would provide both the House and Senate judiciary committees with a comprehensive report detailing "all categories of records released and withheld".

Roughly 200,000 pages were either redacted or excluded entirely based on legal protections, the congressional letter confirmed.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Lord Mandelson's husband have both been named in the new batch of files.

Images have also been released showing Epstein's prison cell.
