The Department of Justice has produced about 30,000 to 35,000 documents, a source familiar said in late November. Recent public releases from the committee include images of Epstein&#8217;s private island, and a now-infamous &#8220;birthday book&#8221; with a tawdry drawing surrounding a note that appears to bear President Trump&#8217;s signature. He has denied penning the note.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Productions from Epstein&#8217;s estate are ongoing, and the committee is likely to release other batches of files in the months after the Justice Department&#8217;s Dec. 19 deadline. The committee also recently issued subpoenas to banks that had relationships with Epstein, and has vowed to release material stemming from that.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"content__post--e68654a0-8449-4e81-99cf-34b45928c8b4\">\n            <a name=\"post-update-e68654a0\" class=\"post-update__anchor-link\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>            <time class=\"post-update__time-ago is-live\" datetime=\"2025-12-12T10:03:00-0500\"><br \/>\n              Updated 33m ago<br \/>\n            <\/time><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"post-update__headline\">Judges have already ordered unsealing of grand jury material in Epstein and Maxwell cases<\/h2>\n<div class=\"post-update__bodytext\" wp_automatic_readability=\"58.347305389222\">\n<p>Over the past week, three federal judges have ordered grand jury material from cases involving Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to be unsealed after the Justice Department renewed requests for the records to be made public following enactment of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Richard Berman <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/epstein-files-new-york-judge-unsealing-justice-department\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">ordered the release<\/a><\/span> of grand jury materials and investigative records, documents and communications stemming from the Justice Department&#8217;s 2019 investigation into Epstein.<\/p>\n<p>The disgraced financier was indicted on sex trafficking charges in the Southern District of New York in July 2019.
