The DOJ's Letter To The Court Explaining Their Failure To Comply With The Law (1/29/26)

In its latest joint letter to Judges Richard M. Berman and Paul A. Engelmayer, the Department of Justice frames its update as a status report on compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, emphasizing the scale and complexity of the task rather than offering concrete results. The DOJ reiterates that it is conducting an extensive review of materials connected to both United States v. Jeffrey Epstein and United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, describing the universe of records as massive and varied, including investigative files, recordings, and other sensitive materials. The department stresses that its review process is focused heavily on redaction, particularly to protect victim identities and sensitive third-party information, and portrays this as a labor-intensive, multi-layered effort requiring careful quality control.


Notably, the letter avoids committing to any firm timeline for completion or public release, instead repeating assurances of “ongoing progress” and good-faith compliance with the Act’s directives. While the DOJ presents its work as methodical and necessary, the update effectively confirms that large portions of the Epstein-related materials remain unreleased well past statutory deadlines. The tone of the submission positions delay as an unavoidable consequence of caution and volume, offering process explanations in place of deliverables, and leaving the ultimate scope, pace, and completeness of the eventual disclosures unresolved.
