Authorities have discovered over a million more documents that may be connected to the case, just days after the US government made thousands of files related to convicted $_x offender Jeffrey Epstein public.

The Department of Justice has been notified by the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation that they discovered the documents while conducting an investigation into Epstein.

In a statement, the DOJ said: “We have received these documents from SDNY and the FBI to review them for release, in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, existing statutes, and judicial orders.

“We have lawyers working around the clock to review and make the legally required redactions to protect victims, and we will release the documents as soon as possible.”

Because of the volume of the newly identified material, officials said it could take weeks before the documents are made public.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed on November 18, 2025, mandates the attorney general to release all documents and records held by the Department of Justice relating to Epstein, subject to legal redactions.

The most recent batch of files, released on December 19, 2025, included photographs of several high-profile figures. Among them was former U.S. president Bill Clinton, who appeared in images showing him in a hot tub with an unidentified woman, swimming in a pool alongside Ghislaine Maxwell, and posing with Epstein and other unidentified women.

Clinton has never been accused of wrongdoing by Epstein’s victims and has consistently denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities.

The files also contain images of Epstein with Britain’s Prince Andrew, formally known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, billionaire businessman Richard Branson, and late CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite. Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied any allegations of wrongdoing.

Other photographs show Donald Trump appearing alongside Epstein and unidentified women, while one image of personal items on Epstein’s desk reportedly includes a photograph of Trump. Additional figures seen in the files include Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger.

Many of the images were released without context, and authorities have not confirmed when or where they were taken. Officials have also stressed that none of the photographs released so far show or imply any criminal wrongdoing by the individuals depicted.
