DOJ May Have Only Released 2% of Epstein Cache - Despite Bondi's Claim 'All' Files Released, Report Finds

A new investigation examining emails sent between federal investigators and prosecutors has raised fresh doubts over the Department of Justice’s claim that it has released the full cache of Jeffrey Epstein files, suggesting the material made public amounts to just 2% of the data gathered by federal agents.

U.K.-based broadcaster Channel 4 News reported that internal emails seen by its journalists show federal investigators expected to process between 20 and 40 terabytes of data seized from Epstein’s properties, including his Florida mansion, New York townhouse, and private island.

The broadcaster added that emails between investigators discussed the data “totaling” up to 50 terabytes from the “earliest stages” in June 2020. In another internal email from 2025, the report continued, officials said that they were “looking at approximately 14.6 terabytes of archived data.” The report then noted that the total data released in the most recent tranche of 3.5 million Epstein documents totalled “more than 300GBs” and that that “accounts for just 2%” of the data that officials were discussing “just last year.”

The Epstein Files Transparency Act mandated the disclosure of millions of documents tied to the convicted sex offender — and required department lawyers to review all files for material relating to Epstein and his network. “They claimed that 6 million pages were identified, including duplicates — they released over 3 million,” the broadcaster’s U.S. editor, Asnushka Asthana, said. “Both those numbers are tiny compared to the amount collected according to today’s emails.” “Many files are too large to open… There are many files that are completely invisible to us,” one email read.
