Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger among famous faces pictured in newly released Epstein files

The latest release of documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein has brought renewed attention after several photographs featuring well-known public figures were made public.

The Department of Justice released around 300,000 files on Friday afternoon, following a federal requirement to disclose the records. Officials acknowledged shortly beforehand that the full release could not be completed at once.

Instead, the DOJ began publishing the material in stages. Among the newly available documents, a number of photographs quickly attracted public and international interest.

The images include appearances by prominent figures such as former President Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger, and others. Authorities emphasized that being pictured in the files does not imply wrongdoing, and many named individuals have denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes.

Several photos show Clinton with Ghislaine Maxwell, including one of them swimming together and another unusual portrait painting depicting Clinton in a dress. Additional images feature Epstein and Maxwell alongside celebrities and public figures such as Diana Ross, Chris Tucker, Prince Andrew, and Sarah Ferguson.

One photograph even shows Maxwell standing outside 10 Downing Street. However, the time, location, and circumstances surrounding many of these images remain unclear, and some photos may not have been taken by Epstein or at events he attended.

Beyond photographs, the files include heavily redacted materials such as a “masseuse list,” grand jury records, flight logs, handwritten notes, and a scrapbook. Officials confirmed that over 1,200 victims and families were identified, with redactions applied to protect their privacy.
