The U.S. Department of Justice has released a major new batch of Jeffrey Epstein case records, totaling about three million documents and photos. The January 30 disclosure, arriving more than a month after an initial deadline, expands public access to investigative files, court-related material, and visual evidence. Many documents are expected to be redacted to protect victims, minors, and third parties. Lawyers, journalists, and lawmakers are preparing to review the records for new details on how authorities handled past investigations, plea agreements, and Epstein’s network of associates.

Newly reviewed files show that Tom Barrack, a longtime associate of former President Donald Trump and a prominent investor, maintained years of contact with financier Jeffrey Epstein. CBS News found records of meetings, calls, and social events linking Barrack and Epstein within elite political and business circles.
