Epstein Files Released: New Photos of Clinton, Celebs Emerge – But No Bombshells or Client List in Partial DOJ Dump

Epstein Files Released: New Photos of Clinton, Celebs Emerge – But No Bombshells or Client List in Partial DOJ Dump


December 21, 2025

The long-awaited release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has finally begun, sparking massive online buzz and controversy. Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act – a bipartisan law signed by President Donald Trump on November 19, 2025 – the DOJ was required to release all unclassified records by December 19. However, the initial tranche on Friday was partial, heavily redacted, and criticized as incomplete, with more files trickling out over the weekend.

Thousands of documents, photos, and investigative notes hit the DOJ's "Epstein Library" website, but experts and lawmakers from both parties say it falls short. No explosive "client list" emerged (fact-checks confirm none exists as a blackmail tool), no new criminal evidence against high-profile figures, and much of the material was already public from prior court cases or congressional releases.

Key Highlights from the Released Files

  • Photos of Celebrities and Politicians: The biggest visual draws are undated photos showing Epstein socializing with stars and leaders.
    • Former President Bill Clinton features prominently: Images show him with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell (Epstein's convicted accomplice), in a hot tub, at dinners with Mick Jagger, and alongside young women (some faces redacted). One infamous photo depicts a painting of Clinton in a blue dress hanging in Epstein's home.
    • Other celebs: Michael Jackson, Walter Cronkite (late CBS anchor), Chris Tucker, Kevin Spacey, Diana Ross, and Richard Branson.
    • Clinton's spokesperson insists he cut ties with Epstein in 2005 and knew nothing of his crimes. No accusations of wrongdoing against Clinton in these files.
  • Limited Mentions of Trump: President Trump's name and images appear rarely – a book of his on Epstein's shelf, a large check signed by Trump to Epstein (possibly charitable), and one photo that was briefly posted then removed (sparking cover-up claims). Trump socialized with Epstein in the 1990s-early 2000s but banned him from Mar-a-Lago after a fallout.
  • Victim Stories and Old Investigations: A standout is a 1996 FBI report from survivor Maria Farmer, detailing early complaints against Epstein and Maxwell that were allegedly ignored. Other files include police reports, grand jury transcripts (heavily redacted), and inventories from Epstein's properties (e.g., medical items like vaginal creams).

Why It's Trending – But Disappointing

Social media exploded with #EpsteinFiles trending worldwide, fueled by years of conspiracy theories about a hidden "client list" blackmailing elites. However:

  • No Smoking Gun: Major outlets (NYT, CNN, Reuters, NPR, Guardian) report no new evidence of accomplices or trafficking networks beyond what's known.
  • Heavy Redactions and Removals: Entire pages blacked out to protect victims; some files vanished from the site overnight (including one with Trump's photo), prompting bipartisan outrage.
  • Incomplete Release: DOJ admits more "hundreds of thousands" of files coming in weeks – lawmakers like Rep. Ro Khanna (D) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R) call it a violation of the law.

The White House highlighted Clinton photos to shift focus, while critics accuse the Trump DOJ of slow-walking to bury embarrassing ties.

What's Next?

More tranches expected soon. Survivors and lawmakers demand full compliance. Being named or photographed with Epstein doesn't prove wrongdoing – he hobnobbed with hundreds of powerful people.

This release closes some chapters but leaves big questions: Why the delays? What's still hidden? For now, it's more hype than revelation, but the saga continues.
