“Phase 1” of Epstein Files Released — Thousands More To Come

The Epstein Files have been released!

…..kind of.

I have to admit that I am not overly impressed at the way this is being handled, but I’m going to reserve judgment for the moment.

Today we received “Phase 1” of the Epstein Files with many more “Phases” and many thousands of more pages of documents to come.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn told is more earlier this morning:

UPDATE: Epstein Files

BREAKING: Sen. Marsha Blackburn says what’s being released today is just PHASE 1

“there will be more to come…”

So far, the files have been released via binders given to social media influencers like Emily Austin, DC_Draino, Chad Prather, Mike Cernovich and others:

Journalist and TV host Emily Austin leaves the White House with the first batch of the Epstein Files, confirming:

"The rumors are true!

The Epstein-Files, baby!

Let's make America safe again."

Today I met with President Trump, VP JD Vance, AG Pam Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel in the Oval Office

I left with an interesting souvenir. The Trump DOJ has EVERYTHING. The most transparent administration in history.

It is unclear if the Phase 1 binder will also simply be uploaded somewhere online or why that did not occur in the first place.

It does seem rather odd to release copies to this intermediary group of “influencers”.

Why?

Why not just post them?

It feels more like some strange photo-opp than true disclosure, but I’m trying to not be cynical.

Also, I think the vibe is all wrong, seeing these “influencers” holding up these binders like a trophy, smiling and laughing.

Folks, this is serious.

We want justice.

We want justice for the hundreds (or thousands) of children who were victims in this whole thing.

The vibe is just totally wrong and completely tone-deaf to be celebrating these things as if you just got some hunting trophy.

Meanwhile, Pam Bondi has made clear that New York is refusing to hand over thousands more documents and she is demanding their release:

🚨 #BREAKING: While Epstein Files Phase 1 is set to be released today, AG Pam Bondi says the Southern District of New York is still holding THOUSANDS of Epstein documents, set to be delivered to the DOJ tomorrow, per @DC_Draino

We’ll continue to bring you updates as we have them.

UPDATE:

New reports now say the DOJ will post Phase 1 of these Epstein Files online later today:

🚨🇺🇸 DOJ TO RELEASE PHASE 1 OF EPSTEIN FILES ONLINE TODAY?!

Federal sources confirm that the DOJ will post phase 1 of the Epstein files online later today.

However, officials say the information has “largely been seen in the public domain prior to today” and that there are no… https://t.co/JE81OViGM1 pic.twitter.com/j1ZpRP2Jzh

It is unclear why this was not simply done initially rather than doing the interim rollout to a small group of “influencers”.
