Epstein Files Released in Full: Attorney General Pam Bondi Confirms Public Access to All Documents
Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced the comprehensive release of all files related to the harrowing case against predator Jeffrey Epstein. According to Bondi, millions of emails, photographs, and documents have been made publicly available, marking a significant transparency milestone in this high-profile investigation.
Definitive List of 300 High-Profile Individuals Published
As part of a required update sent to Congress on February 14, the Department of Justice has published a definitive list of 300 high-profile individuals. This list includes celebrities, politicians, and other prominent figures who were mentioned at least once in the Epstein files. It is crucial to note that being named in these documents does not imply any guilt or wrongdoing related to Epstein's heinous child sex crimes.
While many names on the list have long been associated with Epstein, such as Ghislaine Maxwell and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, this release represents the first time a definitive, extensive compilation has been shared by Bondi and the administration. The list encompasses singers, actors, businessmen, and entrepreneurs, both deceased and alive.
Notable Names Spanning Entertainment and Politics
The released files name a wide array of A-list celebrities, including Beyonce, Cher, Kim Kardashian, Bruce Springsteen, and Jay Z. In the political sphere, prominent figures such as President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Michelle Obama, Marco Rubio, and the Clintons appear in the documents.
Other notable individuals named include Robert De Niro, Diana Ross, Melinda Gates, Tucker Carlson, and Meghan Markle. Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche, emphasized that these names appear in a "wide variety of contexts," underscoring the diverse nature of the references within the files.
Transparency and Withheld Materials
In her letter, Bondi stated unequivocally that no records were withheld or redacted "on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary." This commitment to transparency aims to ensure public trust in the handling of the Epstein case.
The released files have been categorized into nine distinct sections, as outlined by the Justice Department:
- Jeffrey Epstein
- Ghislaine Maxwell
- Flight logs or travel records
- Individuals named in connection with Epstein's criminal activities
- Details on corporate, nonprofit, academic, or governmental entities with ties to Epstein
- Immunity deals involving Epstein and his associates
- Internal DOJ communications
- All communications relating to the destruction of evidence concerning Epstein
- Documentation of Epstein's detention and death
Bondi explained that the only materials withheld were those where permitted withholdings under Section 2(c) and privileged materials were not segregable from responsive material under Section 2(a). These privileges, as detailed in prior letters to Congress, include deliberative-process privilege, work-product privilege, and attorney-client privilege.
This release follows earlier communications from the Department of Justice on December 19, 2025, and January 29, 2026, which laid the groundwork for the current disclosure. The Epstein files continue to draw intense public and media scrutiny, with this latest development providing unprecedented access to the documents surrounding one of the most notorious criminal cases in recent history.
