Epstein Files Dropping Now: 1,200 Victims and Relatives, High-Profile Links Revealed

The Epstein files are dropping. These files are not being sorted out as quickly and completely as we may have hoped; the deadline for those files to be released is Friday (December 19th) as required by legislation passed by Congress and signed by President Trump. It's happening, even so. And there's some interesting stuff come to light already. In a report marked as a Fox News exclusive, correspondent Brooke Singman has some details.

More than a dozen politically exposed people and government officials' names appear in the hundreds of thousands of pages of Jeffrey Epstein files made public Friday, sources said.
And Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the DOJ discovered more than 1,200 victims and their families during the exhaustive review, explaining the process behind determining which files could be released in a letter to Congress exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital.
Sources told Fox News Digital that new photos of Epstein with former President Bill Clinton are part of the release.

As of this writing, we haven't yet seen those photos, but the question that immediately comes to mind, given former President Clinton's rather notorious reputation, is this: Who else was the former president photographed with?

Here's what's being released:

Blanche explained that "all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials that relate to: Jeffrey Epstein including all investigations, prosecutions, or custodial matters" are being released.
Also being released are any records relating to "Ghislaine Maxwell; flight logs or travel records..for any aircraft, vessel, or vehicle owned, operated or used by Jeffrey Epstein or any related entity."
The DOJ is releasing any records or documents with "individuals, including government officials, named or referenced in connection with Epstein’s criminal activities, civil settlements, immunity or plea agreements, or investigatory proceedings;" as well as any "entities..with known or alleged ties to Epstein’s trafficking or financial networks.

While the deadline in the legislation has not been met, some patience is in order here. The American people have waited a long time, and it's a tad frustrating that this hasn't been done before now - and we note that there were no moves towards releasing any of these files under the Biden administration - now that the process is underway, it's understandable that the DOJ will want to ensure the privacy of any victims mentioned or photographed in those files.

And, we may very well ask, why didn't the Biden administration release any of these files? Here's why, and I'm going to tell you: There's nothing in there damaging to President Trump or any prominent members of his administration. That's based on nothing more than intuition, but if any such information were to be found in those files, the Biden White House would have done so in a trice.

Speaking of Democrats, at least one prominent member of that party has had a sudden attack of respect for laws as written, at least in this case, regardless of the privacy of the victims.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said not releasing the required files in full amounts to breaking the law.
“The law Congress passed and President Trump signed was clear as can be – the Trump administration had 30 days to release ALL the Epstein files, not just some. Failing to do so is breaking the law. This just shows the Department of Justice, Donald Trump, and Pam Bondi are hellbent on hiding the truth,” Schumer said in a statement on Friday.
“Senate Democrats are working closely with attorneys for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and with outside legal experts to assess what documents are being withheld and what is being covered up by Pam Bondi. We will not stop until the whole truth comes out.”

Senator Schumer, you might want to touch base with the failed 2016 Democratic presidential candidate and her husband before you lean too hard into this.

Stay tuned. This saga is just getting started.
