Trump DOJ sitting on 'more than 100,000 pages' of unreleased Epstein materials: NY Times
A new report is shedding light on the truly massive trove of evidence the Department of Justice (DOJ) has amassed on Jeffrey Epstein — most of which has yet to see the light of day.
The New York Times reported Thursday on what went on behind the scenes during an extensive review of the Epstein files that the DOJ conducted for several months earlier this year. According to the Times, DOJ staff combed through "more than 100,000 pages of documents" pertaining to the 2019 federal investigation into the convicted pedophile.
DOJ attorneys reviewed the trove of evidence four times between February and April, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche instructed staff to flag any mention of President Donald Trump, along with any other prominent public figures, "including former President Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew." Then in May, Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed to Trump that his name was in the Epstein documents, as the Wall Street Journal reported this week.

The Times reported that senior Trump administration officials like Blanche, Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino have maintained there is no evidence implicating anyone outside of Epstein in the evidence. However, Trump's MAGA base has continued to harp on the issue, believing that a full release of the evidence may reveal the names of previously unknown co-conspirators and associates of Epstein.
ABC News reported earlier this month on the FBI's indexing of the Epstein evidence, and what has yet to be made public. This reportedly includes "40 computers and electronic devices, 26 storage drives, more than 70 CDs and six recording devices," which "hold more than 300 gigabytes of data."
"The evidence also includes approximately 60 pieces of physical evidence, including photographs, travel logs, employee lists, more than $17,000 in cash, five massage tables, blueprints of Epstein's island and Manhattan home, four busts of female body parts, a pair of women's cowboy boots and one stuffed dog," the ABC report continued.
The network further reported that the FBI is sitting on logbooks of visitors to Epstein's "Little Saint James" island — which housed his private compound — along with a log of boat trips to and from the island. The famed "client list" may also be among those items, as ABC reported that the FBI had a "document with names" among its Epstein-related evidence.
