The Trump administration is preparing for the controlled release of a substantial volume of federal records linked to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, following a disclosure requirement approved by Congress and enacted late last year.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department will begin publishing a large collection of documents connected to the case, with the initial release scheduled for today to comply with a statutory deadline. Additional document sets are expected to be released gradually as internal reviews are completed.
According to officials familiar with the process, the records may contain investigative materials, visual evidence, and internal correspondence generated during earlier federal inquiries. Portions of the archive could remain restricted or redacted where disclosure may compromise victim privacy or intersect with unresolved investigative matters.

The legislation mandating the release faced resistance from President Donald Trump before being signed into law in November. With the first disclosures imminent, the administration is under renewed pressure from lawmakers and legal observers to demonstrate compliance with the law’s transparency provisions.
Trump is expected to address reporters from the White House later today before departing for North Carolina. His remarks are likely to draw questions regarding the timing, scope, and handling of the Epstein document release.
