Late Friday afternoon, the Department of Justice dumped more than 300,000 pages of unclassified Jeffrey Epstein files just ahead of a December 19 congressional deadline written directly into law. That legislation—signed by President Trump shortly after passage—forced the release, as RedState’s Ward Clark previously detailed.
And the disclosures didn’t stop there. By Saturday morning, the administration followed up with two additional tranches. More on that shortly.
One element of the initial tranche was impossible to miss: photographs of former President Bill Clinton in the company of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his longtime accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. Also visible were various redacted “individuals”—women identified by the DOJ as victims of the pair, along with members of their families.
That detail did not escape at least one reader of the coverage—“Slick Willy” Clinton himself—who reportedly made his considerable displeasure over the photos’ release abundantly clear. We reported earlier that his response to those newly disclosed photos was, um, less than convincing.
As foreshadowed, the Department of Justice has now released two additional tranches of Epstein-related documents, according to multiple outlets. Among them is 2019 grand jury testimony from a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent detailing the grotesque methods Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell used to lure young women into their sex-trafficking operation, along with other deeply troubling revelations.
Here is some of what CBS News has uncovered so far:
An FBI agent told a 2019 grand jury in New York that Epstein used his victims to recruit other young girls, testimony released on Saturday shows.
In the testimony, the FBI agent said he interviewed multiple victims in New York and Florida, who told him that they would go to Epstein’s home to give him a massage and that “things progressed each additional time.”
The agent also recalled what they learned about a 2005 police raid of Epstein’s West Palm Beach home, where they found a massage table and sex toys, phone messages and more. In a room, they found message pads that included one note saying: “she has a female for Mr. JE” and a date of birth.
The testimony and documents provided shocking insights from victim-survivors of Epstein, shedding light on Maxwell’s involvement:
Ghislane Maxwell was “like a cool older sister and made comments like this is what grownups do,” a survivor of Epstein’s abuse said, according to an FBI agent who testified before a 2019 federal grand jury.
The agent described interviews with three different women, who, as teenagers, were abused by Epstein. The agent said the women described Maxwell being either present or waiting just outside, as Epstein sexually abused them in massage rooms at his residences in Palm Beach, New York and New Mexico, as well as another location in London.
The grand jury also reviewed messages intended for Epstein, many of which had names redacted:
Over a dozen handwritten messages left for Epstein were shown in what appears to be a 2019 grand jury presentation.
Several similar messages for “Mr. JE” reference females being available or asking if they are, while two others focus on whether a female can work. Another message appears to be from a girl trying to talk to “JE” about college. Another message seems to be from a female trying to get in touch with Epstein and includes the note “please call her.”
You can peruse the newly released testimony and court documents, officially known as Data Sets 6 and 7, respectively, here and here.
As USA Journal has previously reported, these Justice Department document dumps could become a serious problem for Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, both of whom appear eager to avoid testifying before Congress about their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. And this is almost certainly just the beginning—more damaging information is bound to emerge as additional details continue to trickle out.
