On the 30th, the U.S. Department of Justice released a new edition of the Epstein files, totaling 3 million pages. The documents revealed that Bill Gates allegedly contracted a sexually transmitted disease after an encounter with a Russian woman and hid it from his wife. Gates's side claims that this email was fabricated by Epstein after he was unable to maintain a relationship with Bill Gates.
The U.S. Department of Justice continues to release investigation materials related to the late tycoon Jeffrey Epstein case. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated at a press conference that the department had released over 3 million additional pages of materials that day, including about 2,000 videos and 180,000 photos, all related to the Epstein case.
Blanche said the disclosure was in accordance with the requirements of the 'Epstein Files Transparency Act.' This law officially took effect on November 19 last year, requiring the Department of Justice to release all documents related to Epstein within 30 days.
The Department of Justice stated that millions of pages of documents remain under review. Due to the sheer volume, organizing and releasing the materials may take several more weeks. As of now, the DOJ has published about 12,000 files on its official website, totaling about 125,000 pages, which is only a small fraction of all the material.
The released materials include a complaint submitted to the FBI in 1996, details of investigations into potential accomplices, and thousands of photos obtained by the FBI during searches of Epstein's properties in New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands after his 2019 arrest. The DOJ stated that future document disclosures will continue to proceed within the limits permitted by law.
Epstein had close contacts with a large number of U.S. political and business elites. After being arrested on suspicion of sexual crimes, he died in jail in August 2019, ruled a 'suicide.' During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump promised that, if elected, he would release the files related to the Epstein case.
On November 18, 2025, the U.S. Congress overwhelmingly passed a bill requiring the Department of Justice to release documents related to the Epstein case by December 19 of that year. President Trump signed the bill on November 19. The DOJ began releasing related documents starting December 19, but the releases have sparked numerous controversies. Many have accused the DOJ of 'selective disclosure,' exposing issues of judicial injustice and interference by the powerful.
