Morning Wire
Epstein Files Firestorm & U.S. Retaliation Strikes ISIS | 12.22.25

So thanks to the Epstein Files Transparency Act that was passed just last month, the DOJ has now released an initial batch of over 13,000 files.

These include investigative materials, grand jury transcripts from cases that were adjudicated in the early 2000s,

also police reports, flight logs, handwritten phone messages, and the headline makers, dozens of photographs.

So much of this material was already public from prior lawsuits or congressional releases, but we do have some new items, like a 1996 complaint from artist Maria Farmer, and that alleges that Epstein possessed and distributed child pornography involving her underage sisters.

Epstein and Maxwell recruited underage girls for sexual massages that often escalated.

They paid them hundreds of dollars and they used threats to silence them.

And one grand jury testimony we have from 2007 describes a recruiter bringing in seven to 10 high school girls, including a 14-year-old girl.

So crucially, we do have to note that the DOJ has stated that these files contain no evidence warranting new investigations or charges.

Yeah, those photos are definitely what's making the most news.
