DOJ Published 3.5 Million Pages of Epstein Files — But NPR Finds Key Documents Were Withheld

The Department of Justice released 3.5 million pages of Epstein-related documents on January 30, 2026, under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. An NPR investigation this week discovered that dozens of pages containing sexual abuse accusations against President Trump were excluded from the public database. The DOJ had identified over 6 million potentially responsive pages but withheld approximately 2.5 million after review and redactions. The missing materials specifically include documents related to allegations that Trump sexually abused a minor. The selective withholding raises questions about whether the DOJ fully complied with the transparency law's disclosure requirements.
