new epstein files include photos documents with redactions as doj

Updated on: December 20, 2025 / 10:47 PM EST / CBS News At least 15 newly-released files have disappeared from the Justice Department's website containing documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, including one file that shows a photo of President Trump, CBS News has determined. CBS News downloaded the complete set of documents on Friday and compared it to what was available Saturday. The Department of Justice has not responded to a request for comment about the discrepancy, and it's unclear why the files are missing a day after they were initially released. However, in a social media post to its X account Saturday night that seemed to touch on the issue, the DOJ wrote: "Photos and other materials will continue being reviewed and redacted consistent with... EDITOR’S NOTE: This story contains graphic and disturbing descriptions of sexual violence.

The Justice Department’s release of thousands of documents and pictures related to investigations into Jeffrey Epstein on Friday was highly anticipated and provided a glimpse into the life of the late sex offender and... But while the partial release — DOJ has said it will continue to release more files — included some never-before-seen pictures, it revealed little that had not already been known. Extensive redactions and files presented without context have raised further questions. And the fact that DOJ has not yet released all of the materials in its possession sparked bipartisan pushback from lawmakers, who have threatened consequences if the agency does not abide by the law... Here is what the release revealed, and what questions remain: Late Friday afternoon, the Justice Department began releasing thousands of pages of files and communications related to Jeffrey Epstein.

The new documents include photos, call logs, court filings and more. White House correspondent Liz Landers reports on the release and discusses more with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna.

Late this afternoon, the Justice Department began releasing thousands of pages of files and communications related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The new documents include photos, call logs, court filings, and more, many of them heavily redacted. Our White House correspondent, Liz Landers, joins us now. So, Liz, you and our team have been reading through these documents. What stands out so far? The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has released multiple tranches of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender. The files - which include photos, videos and investigative documents - were highly anticipated after Congress passed a law mandating that they be released in their entirety by 19 December.

However, some lawmakers have accused the DoJ of violating its legal obligations after it said it would not be able to release all the documents by the deadline. Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, said "several hundred thousand" pages of documents were still being reviewed and had yet to be made public. Many details in the thousands of files that have so far been released have also been heavily redacted. That has led to criticism, because under the law that compels the release of their files, the only material that can be blacked out is the identities of Epstein's victims and any information under... WASHINGTON – The Justice Department has released hundreds of thousands of documents dealing with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, often with what women who accused him of abuse call “abnormal” redactions. But the department said Dec.

24 the FBI "uncovered over a million more documents potentially related to the Jeffrey Epstein case” and said the process of reviewing them for release will take "a few more weeks." The department had... 19 deadline Congress set for the release of all the records. Add it all up and it's so far been a dizzying whirlwind of information. Documents can sometimes offer false or unfiltered accusations. The department has warned the records contained “untrue and sensationalist” accusations against President Donald Trump from just before the 2020 election. The FBI labeled a purported note from Epstein to disgraced former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar a “fake" despite releasing it to the public.

Key documents also remain under wraps. Lawmakers have called for the release of a 60-count indictment drafted against Epstein during a 2008 investigation that never led to federal charges and the 82-page prosecution memo about legal arguments in the case. Even what is available in the documents often lacks context. Pictures don’t name who is portrayed, or when or where the shots were taken. Epstein hosted celebrities and business leaders at his properties, including a private Caribbean island but nobody other than his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, have been charged with abuse. The Department of Justice (DOJ) released thousands of new documents connected with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday, including a number of references to President Donald Trump and records related to...

The Trump Administration has faced widespread backlash for releasing incomplete and heavily redacted documents that revealed little new information about the case despite a new law requiring the government to make all materials in... Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that day, on which the Administration made its initial release of thousands of files, that more documents would be made public in the coming weeks. Additional files were released on Saturday, and Tuesday’s release marked the third batch of documents made public by the DOJ.
