WASHINGTON — The United States Department of Justice began its mandated release of the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files on Friday afternoon.
A webpage on the DOJ website allows users to browse a gigantic library of information, sorted into categories including court records; DOJ disclosures; Freedom of Information Act files; and files from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Disclosures.
Access the website by navigating to justice.gov/epstein.
Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender. He was formally accused of engaging in the sex trafficking of minors in 2019, about a month before he died while awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.
Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, accused of grooming victims for Epstein, was arrested in 2020 in New Hampshire.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump on Nov. 19, allowed Attorney General Pam Bondi one month to make public “all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” about Epstein.
