What has been released
-
The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) completed a large-scale internal review of their investigative holdings relating to Epstein, including digital and physical evidence. Wikipedia+3Department of Justice+3Axios+3
-
They found over ~300 gigabytes of data, including images/videos of victims and other highly sensitive material. Department of Justice+1
-
In their memo (July 7, 2025) they stated that they found no credible evidence of a “client list”, no credible evidence Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals, and concluded his death was by suicide. Department of Justice+3Wikipedia+3The Guardian+3
-
They released some of the raw/enhanced video footage of the prison cell where Epstein died. Department of Justice+1

-
The United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (often just “House Oversight Committee”) has received and publicly released significant sets of documents:
-
In September 2025 the Committee released over 33,000 pages of records provided by the DOJ. New York Post+1
-
On November 12, 2025, new email correspondence from Epstein (to Ghislaine Maxwell and others) was released, including one email in 2011 referencing Donald Trump (“that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump … [victim] spent hours at my house with him…”) though the full context and names were redacted. ABC News+1
-
-
Some prior civil-court and criminal-case documents (lawsuits, flight logs, contact books, evidence lists) had been partially available through other channels before. For example, early releases in 2024/2025 included flight logs, address books, lists of evidence. Axios+1
⚠️ What remains not fully released / still under contention
-
The DOJ and FBI have stated that no further disclosures of the Epstein files will be made (in terms of new public releases) under their current determinations. Their July 2025 memo says:
“It is the determination of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation that no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted.” Business Insider+1
-
Significant portions remain sealed, redacted or otherwise inaccessible to the public. These include:
-
Grand-jury transcripts and exhibits related to Epstein’s investigations. A federal judge in August 2025 rejected the DOJ’s motion to unseal them, calling the material “hearsay snippets” and noting the bulk of the files (~100,000 pages) are with the DOJ. Politico+1
-
Evidence seized in the 2019 investigation (hard drives, computers, other digital evidence) has not been fully made public; despite FOIA requests and lawsuits, many of those materials remain under seal. Business Insider+1
-
Many victims’ names, identities, and sensitive information are intertwined in the materials and remain redacted for privacy/justice reasons. Department of Justice+1
-
Some materials relate to flight logs, financial records, property holdings, third-party communications that have not been fully released. Business Insider
-
-
Political/legislative pressure remains:
-
A discharge petition in the House aims to force a full release of all DOJ files relating to Epstein. Axios+1
-
Some members of Congress argue that the documents released so far are largely ones already publicly available and that what remains is the more “sensitive” material. New York Post+1
-
📌 Key take-aways
-
The “Epstein files” is a broad term encompassing investigative records, digital evidence, flight logs, property records, communications, seized items, etc.
-
The government (DOJ & FBI) claims they have reviewed their holdings and determined there is no client list of prominent individuals, no blackmail scheme traceable to them, and that Epstein committed suicide.
-
A large batch of documents has been made public, but the government still retains many sealed/redacted files, and their stance is that no further voluntary releases are planned.
-
There remains considerable public interest, scrutiny, and pressure (from media, survivors’ advocates, and Congress) to release more, especially material that might reveal previously hidden connections or institutional failures.
-
Because much of the remaining material involves victim identities, extremely graphic child-abuse content, and sealed grand-jury evidence, there are genuine legal/privacy/logistical constraints. So the question of what else remains is less about whether documents exist (they do) and more about whether they will ever be made public — or remain permanently sealed.
If you like, I can pull together a detailed-by-category list of what exactly has been released (by date and document type) and what is still sealed or contested (with specific examples). Would you like me to dig that up?
