The US Justice Department has made its single largest release of documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, unleashing a massive new trove of evidence into the public domain.
What the latest document dump contains
This unprecedented release, published on 23 December 2025, comprises more than 11,000 individual files with a total size of around 10GB. The cache is not limited to paper records; it includes a significant multimedia component with 400 videos, audio recordings, and detailed evidence spreadsheets.
The move follows a series of smaller disclosures over the preceding weekend, though many details across the files remain heavily obscured by redactions.
The Balmoral email signed 'A'
Among the thousands of pages is one particularly striking piece of correspondence: an email originating from Balmoral. The content of the message includes a request for what are described as 'inappropriate friends'. Adding to the intrigue, the communication is signed off with simply the letter 'A'.
This revelation immediately raises serious questions about the nature of the request and the identity of the individual behind the initial. Balmoral Castle is the Scottish private residence of the British Royal Family.
High-profile connections detailed
The document release continues to shed light on Epstein's extensive network of powerful and famous associates. Last week's batch of records featured photographs and references linking him to numerous celebrities.
Among those pictured in the files were music icon Michael Jackson, actor Kevin Spacey, and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. The latest files are expected to provide further context on these and other relationships.
This remains a breaking news story, with journalists and investigators worldwide sifting through the newly public material for further significant disclosures.
