The US Department of Justice released more than 3 million pages of Jeffrey Epstein's private files on 30 January 2026. The disclosure, mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, includes approximately 2,000 videos and 180,000 images collected during decades of federal investigations. The release has prompted renewed scrutiny of high-profile figures in the technology sector, as the public examines documents that were previously shielded from view.
The scale of the data has resulted in significant online speculation, particularly regarding the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. While the Department of Justice utilised a team of reviewers to redact sensitive information, technical errors have occasionally allowed for the recovery of blacked-out text. These failures have led to the circulation of unverified claims, as social media users attempt to identify names that investigators intended to keep private.
