DOJ Releases Additional Epstein Files, Including Interviews Related to Trump Accusations

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has released additional documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, including FBI interview memos concerning uncorroborated allegations made against President Donald Trump. The release comes after reports indicated that some files had been mistakenly withheld from the initial publication of records mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Background: The Epstein Files Transparency Act

In November 2025, President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law, compelling the DOJ to release documents related to the Epstein case. As of January 30, 2026, the DOJ had published nearly 3.5 million pages, along with over 2,000 videos and 180,000 images .

What Was Released?

The newly released files include interviews conducted in 2019 with a woman who alleged sexual abuse by Trump. The DOJ stated that these files were “incorrectly coded as duplicative” and were therefore not initially published . A summary of only one of those interviews had previously been included in the publicly released files.

Previous Withholding Concerns

The release followed reports from several news organizations that the initial tranche of documents did not include all relevant files. The DOJ acknowledged it was reviewing records to determine if any were improperly withheld after these concerns were raised . An NPR investigation also revealed that the Justice Department had withheld or removed some Epstein files related to Trump .

Trump’s Response and DOJ Notes

Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. The DOJ noted that some of the documents contain “untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election” .

Ongoing Scrutiny

The handling of these files continues to draw scrutiny, with Attorney General Pam Bondi facing turmoil over the department’s handling of the released documents. The DOJ maintains that it is committed to transparency and will correct any errors and republish information online if concerns are raised.
