Friday afternoon saw the Department of Justice (DOJ) release more than 300,000 pages of unclassified Jeffrey Epstein files ahead of a Congress-mandated December 19 deadline that was locked into law; The legislation was signed into law by President Trump shortly after that vote, RedState’s Ward Clark writes. On Saturday morning, the administration continued its presentation, with two more slides. More on that in a minute.
A key feature of the initial batch, something that no one reading it would have missed, were photos showing former President Bill Clinton, not only with convicted sex trafficker and his companion/partner Ghislaine Maxwell, but several redacted “subjects” — women who were victims of the couple, and their relatives, according to the Justice Department.
This certainly did not escape one of the report’s readers, “Slick Willie” Clinton himself, and he expressed strong displeasure at their release. My colleague Bob Hoge shared in an update late Friday that the former POTUS didn’t exactly earn the laurels for his reaction.

As I noted, the Justice Department has released two more tranches of the Epstein documents, per multiple outlets, including… 2019 grand jury testimony by an FBI agent regarding the sick method Epstein and Maxwell used to lure young women into a sex trafficking scheme, among other information.
Some of what CBS News has found (so far):
An FBI agent told a New York grand jury in 2019 that Epstein used his victims to recruit other young girls, testimony released Saturday showed.
In his testimony, the FBI agent said he interviewed several victims in New York and Florida, who told him they would go to Epstein’s home to give him massages and that “things were getting better and better every time.”
The agent also recalled learning about a police raid on Epstein’s West Palm Beach home in 2005, where they found a massage table, sex toys, phone messages and more. In one room they found message boards containing a note saying: “Has a female for Mr. J.E.” and a date of birth.
The testimony and documents included interesting details from Epstein’s surviving victims, about Maxwell’s role, in the CBS live blog linked above:
A survivor of Epstein’s abuse said Ghislaine Maxwell was “like a wonderful big sister and made comments like ‘that’s what adults do,'” according to an FBI agent who testified before a federal grand jury in 2019.
The agent described interviews with three different women who had been abused by Epstein when they were teenagers. The agent said the women described that Maxwell was either present or waiting outside as Epstein sexually assaulted them in massage rooms at his residence in Palm Beach, New York and New Mexico, as well as another location in London.
There was also information about letters left for Epstein that the grand jury saw, most of which contained names redacted:
More than a dozen handwritten letters from Epstein were shown in what appears to be a 2019 grand jury presentation.
Many messages similar to “Mr. JE” refer to female availability or ask if they are available, while two other messages focus on whether the female can work. And there appears to be another message from a girl trying to talk to JE about college. Another message appears to be from a woman trying to contact Epstein and includes a note: “Please call her.”

As RedState also previously shared about these DOJ documents, they could serve as a trap for both the former president and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who are trying to avoid testifying about Jeffrey Epstein before Congress. More information will continue to flow, no doubt.
Stay tuned!
