Pam Bondi Says All Epstein Files Have Been Released

Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Justice Department has now released all Epstein-related files covered by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. In a letter dated February 14, 2026, the department said it had released all responsive materials, with only limited redactions or withholdings allowed for reasons such as victim privacy, child sexual abuse material, ongoing investigations, graphic content, and national security.

The release includes a long list of more than 300 high-profile names mentioned somewhere in the records. These names include politicians, entertainers, business figures, and other public people. But being named in the files does not automatically mean wrongdoing, personal involvement in crimes, or even a direct relationship with Epstein.

Bondi also said that material was not withheld because of embarrassment, reputation, or political sensitivity. At the same time, the release has remained controversial, with lawmakers from both parties questioning how the files were handled and whether too much information had previously been hidden or heavily redacted.

The wider debate continues because the files have drawn intense public interest for years. However, reporting on the release has also stressed an important point: the existence of a person’s name in the records should not be treated as proof of criminal conduct.
