The US Justice Department released long-awaited Jeffrey Epstein investigation files revealing censored photos and records that hint at his links with powerful figures, while heavy redactions continue to fuel political scrutiny and cover-up claims
Jeffrey Epstein Documents Released New Photos Show Links to Clinton, Prince Andrew, Branson and Others
Under the investigation related to Jeffrey Epstein US Department of Justice released documents on Friday night at 2:30 am IST. The US Justice Department started releasing a long-awaited set of documents linked to its investigations into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. However, large portions of the records were blacked out, limiting what the public could see. The release comes amid intense political scrutiny, as the Epstein case has long fueled allegations of cover-ups involving powerful people.
Despite the blackouts, the records offer glimpses into Epstein’s close relationships with wealthy and influential people including Trump himself. Some photos show Epstein and unidentified companions holding firearms, with faces deliberately obscured.
The newly released material includes many photographs showing Epstein with well-known figures. These include reportedly Richard Branson, Bill Clinton, Former British Prince Andrew, British Prince Andrews exwife Sarah Ferguson, Chris Tucker, Ghislaine Maxwell, Director Brett Ratners, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, US President Donald Tump and Bill Gates Photos are among the most talked-about images that had not been publicly released before. The images place these figures within Epstein’s social circle, though many photos are partially censored.

Democratic leaders expressed anger and disappointment, arguing that the release does not meet the requirements of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The law mandates that the government make the full case file public, with only limited redactions for legal reasons and victim privacy.
President Trump, who once lived near Epstein in Palm Beach, Florida, spent months opposing the release of the documents. Epstein died in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. Under mounting pressure from Congress including Republicans Trump eventually signed the law last month, forcing the Justice Department to release the files by Friday.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said several hundred thousand documents would be released on the deadline day, with many more expected in the weeks ahead.
He also said prosecutors still have the authority to withhold records linked to active investigations and to protect the identities of Epstein’s many victims.
Ghislaine Maxwell is the only person convicted in connection with Epstein’s crimes. She is serving a 20-year prison sentence for recruiting underage girls for Epstein.
Epstein’s death in custody was officially ruled a suicide, but the case continues to spark public anger, political debate, and unanswered questions.
