EPSTEIN FILES PARTIAL DROP: DOJ Releases Photos of Trump, Clinton, Jackson, Branson & More – Redactions Spark Outrage
Published Date: 21 Dec, 2025
Washington, DC – 17:38 EST, December 19, 2025 The long-awaited Epstein files have started trickling out — but not the full flood many expected.
The Department of Justice just published the first tranche of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents and photos, including hundreds of images from the convicted sex offender’s estate showing Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Richard Branson, Woody Allen, Chris Tucker, Mick Jagger, Larry Summers, and others in social settings.
What’s in the Release (Key Highlights)
- Undated photos of Trump with Epstein (some already public)
- Clinton with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
- Michael Jackson and Diana Ross at events
- Richard Branson laughing with Epstein
- Woody Allen dining/directing scenes
- “Trumpkin” pumpkin and Trump-branded condoms on display
- Little St. James island rooms with erotic art and dentist chair
- Redacted “Masseuse List” and victim faces
DOJ Statement (17:15 EST) Deputy AG Todd Blanche: “This initial release complies with the Epstein Files Transparency Act while protecting victims and ongoing investigations. Additional tranches will follow on a rolling basis in the coming weeks.”
Immediate Backlash House Oversight Democrats (statement): “This is a blatant violation — the law required ALL files by today. Heavy redactions hide the truth. We demand full compliance immediately.”
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Democrats got what they wanted — old photos of everybody with Epstein. No client list, no bombshells. Total hoax.”
What’s Missing
- Full “client list” (DOJ says never existed)
- Grand jury testimony (sealed)
- Complete flight logs (partially redacted)
- Black box recorder transcripts
Live Reaction on X – Top US Trends
- #EpsteinFiles – 3.1 M posts
- “Trump Epstein photo” – 1.4 M
- “Clinton Jackson Epstein” – 987k
- “Redactions hide” – 612k
Victim Advocate Response Virginia Giuffre’s attorney: “Partial releases with heavy redactions protect the powerful, not the victims. We need everything — now.”
Bottom Line The DOJ met the letter of the law with a partial drop — but not the spirit.
Thousands of pages and photos are out, but the most explosive material remains sealed or redacted.
The fight for full transparency just got louder.
More releases promised “in coming weeks.” America is watching.
