“Where can I read the Epstein files?”

What the record shows

There are three paths, and they are not the same set of documents. (1) The public files are the Department of Justice library at justice.gov/epstein. The Department’s January 30, 2026 press release said it published over 3 million additional pages that day, and that the combined production was nearly 3.5 million pages. Files carry EFTA identifiers. EFTA00028716, the January 2020 flight-records email, opened from Data Set 8 on October 10, 2026. The data-set number is not part of the identifier. The library asks the reader to confirm they are 18. (2) A February 13, 2026 letter from Representatives Raskin, Garcia, and Jayapal describes a separate review for members of Congress at a DOJ annex, on DOJ computers, with staff barred. The letter cites a February 6, 2026 DOJ invitation that said the Department would log the dates and times of reviews. This answer does not restate an opening day or hours, because that February 6 letter was not retrieved. The public cannot use that review in place of the library. (3) The Institute for Primary Facts describes its own Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room. The institute says it bound publicly released pages into 3,437 volumes. Its posted itinerary runs August 28–November 3, 2026, and is marked subject to change: Dallas, September 8–11, and Des Moines, September 24–27, with Columbus, Charlotte, and West Palm Beach named without dates. That exhibit is not a DOJ facility. Other websites index the public files; they are not DOJ either. Last verified: October 10, 2026.
