Deputy AG Blanche declares Epstein file release complete despite 2M gap

Deputy AG Todd Blanche announced on January 30, 2026 that DOJ had released 3.5 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images from the Epstein investigation and declared the department in full compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The announcement came 24 days after DOJ's own court filing acknowledged over 2 million documents remained under review, with DOJ having identified more than 6 million pages as potentially responsive. Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie disputed the claim, noting DOJ had released roughly half the responsive universe.
