00:00A massive new release of Jeffrey Epstein records is now public, and it includes hundreds of
00:04thousands of pages of documents and photos that offer a deeper look into the late financier's
00:10world.
00:11Friday marked the end of the 30-day deadline for the Justice Department to comply, with
00:15a bipartisan law signed by President Trump requiring the release of all unclassified
00:21Epstein records, along with as much classified material as legally possible.
00:26Since the law took effect, federal judges have also proved the unsealing of grand jury
00:30transcripts tied to Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently
00:36serving a 20-year federal prison sentence.
00:39As the files began rolling out, access to the Justice Department's website was briefly
00:44disrupted with users encountering error messages and cue rejections as interest surged.
00:50Among the most striking material in the release are photographs.
00:54Several images show Epstein enjoying backstage access at Rolling Stone's concerts.
00:58Other photos capture him vacationing alongside powerful and famous figures, including former
01:03President Bill Clinton, Ghislaine Maxwell, and unidentified women whose faces are redacted.
01:09Clinton appears in multiple photos alongside actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker.
01:13Some of the images show the group relaxing together, while one depicts a man receiving a massage
01:18from an unidentified woman.
01:20Another photo shows Clinton touring Winston Churchill's World War II War Room in London,
01:26taken during the same period Epstein was traveling with influential associates.
01:30One image drawing renewed attention shows Epstein holding a framed check signed by Donald Trump
01:35for $22,500, dated 1997 and believed to have been taken at Mar-a-Lago.
01:42The woman pictured next to Epstein is redacted.
01:45A related image of the same check had been released previously, though attorneys connected
01:50to the woman involved have disputed claims tied to earlier descriptions of the photo.
01:55The files also include a number of personal and unusual images from Epstein's residences
02:01and travels.
02:02Photos show Epstein inspecting a cake shaped like a woman's breasts, embracing friends during
02:07tropical vacations, and images from gatherings that include performers such as a drag queen
02:11dancing in red underwear and striped stockings.
02:14Inside Epstein's Manhattan townhouse, images reveal unusual decor, including multiple copies
02:20of the book Fire and Furies, a caricature of Epstein and Bill Clinton displayed above a toilet,
02:25a gorilla mask mounted in a bathroom, and a hanging figure above a staircase.
02:30Another undated photo shows Epstein dining with Clinton and Rolling Stone's frontman Mick Jagger.
02:36In one image, Clinton and Jagger appear seated beside a woman whose face is blacked out.
02:41The release also includes a photo of Epstein with Michael Jackson, along with other images
02:46showing Jackson with Clinton and Diana Ross.
02:49Not all material is visible.
02:50One file in the release consists of 100 pages that are completely blacked out, reflecting extensive
02:57redactions that remain throughout the datasets.
03:00Several images show Epstein on his private island, including photos of him wearing a military-style cap,
03:06resembling one associated with Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
03:10The Justice Department has indicated that more Epstein-related material could be released
03:15in the coming days, as the review process continues.
03:18For now, the latest disclosure offers a broad visual record of Epstein's associations, travels,
03:23and personal spaces, adding new detail to a case that continues to draw intense public scrutiny
03:29years after his death.
03:30The Justice Department is revealed to be recovered from the United States of America.
