The document reveals a wide range of material related to Epstein that the Justice Department says is included, including records related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell; references to individuals—up to and including government officials—connected to Epstein’s activities; and documents tied to settlements and legal decisions such as immunity agreements, plea agreements, non-prosecution agreements, and closed systems.

It also includes information on organizations and networks allegedly connected to Epstein’s trafficking and financial operations across the corporate, nonprofit, academic, and government sectors, as well as internal DOJ emails, memos, and meeting notes that reflect decisions about charging, declining, or pursuing an investigation.
The documents also include records dealing with the possible destruction or concealment of valuables and documents related to Epstein’s arrest and death, including incident reports, witness interviews, and medical/autopsy-related records.

The letter adds, “No records were withheld or redacted ‘on the basis of embarrassment, injury to reputation, or political sensitivity, including any government official, public official, or foreign official.’
“Any omissions from the list are unintended and, as explained in previous letters to Congress, result in the volume and speed with which the Department complies with the Act,” the letter said. “People whose names have been redacted with the intention of being sensitive to the law are not included.”

The letter says the redaction process was “extensive” including consultation with victims and victim advocates, in order to redact “separable parts” containing victim-identifying information, such as medical files that may jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution, or reveal/contain images of death, physical abuse, or injury.
