Some of the latest revelations in the latest document dump include salacious details about Bill Gates and women Epstein allegedly connected him with.
Gates called the accusations absurd and completely false.
The co-owner of the New York Giants, Steve Tisch, was also revealed to have corresponded with Epstein.
Tisch said it was a brief association, that he never went to Epstein's island, and he regretted the connection.
Neither Gates or Tisch have been charged with a crime connected to Epstein.
Friday's files also included never-before-seen photos of former President Bill Clinton and Epstein together.
The House is expected to vote this week on whether to hold both Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for failing to testify in the Epstein probe.
The Clintons have claimed they didn't know about Epstein's crimes.
According to The New York Times, President Trump, his wife Melania Trump, and other Trump-related terms are mentioned more than 38,000 times in the latest batch of materials, none of which included direct communication between Trump and Epstein.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing in connection with the deceased financier.
Blanch said on CNN the DOJ did not find credible information to merit further investigation into the president.
Blanche said the DOJ's review of more than six million documents is over and that the department is waiting on judicial approval before releasing what he described as a small number of documents that are still outstanding.
The DOJ was compelled to release the documents by a law passed in Congress late last year.
Ro Khanna, a House Democrat from California who co-sponsored the bill, told NBC's Meet the Press yesterday he thinks the administration hasn't done enough to comply with that law.
Meanwhile, dozens of victims of Epstein's were shocked to learn the DOJ failed to redact their names from the latest release.
The Wall Street Journal reports 43 victims' full names were included in the documents.
Many had not had their identities revealed publicly or were minors when they were abused.
The DOJ has since been temporarily taking down certain documents to make new redactions.
Khanna said he spoke with some victims about this issue.
Olympic athletes are making their way to Milan for the Winter Games, which officially kick off this week.
