The partial release of Jeffrey Epstein investigation files by the U.S. Department of Justice on December 19, 2025, includes previously unreleased photos showing former President Bill Clinton with celebrities Kevin Spacey, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross, alongside images involving Epstein himself, amid ongoing redactions to protect victims.
The DOJ's release of hundreds of thousands of Epstein-related documents on Friday—meeting a congressional 30-day deadline set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act—included new photographic evidence not highlighted in initial reports. A searchable database proved ineffective, forcing manual review by journalists.
Key images show Kevin Spacey conversing with Bill Clinton in London's Churchill War Rooms, linking to their 2002 Africa trip on Epstein's plane, dubbed the Lolita Express. Spacey had publicly called for the files' release in July. Another photo depicts Clinton with an arm around Michael Jackson and Diana Ross aboard an unidentified jet, amid Jackson's prior child molestation allegations.
Additional Clinton photos include one with a redacted young woman on his lap during a flight and the previously noted hot tub image with a redacted companion. Epstein appears in at least 10 images embracing a redacted young female on a sofa. A video from Epstein's Palm Beach residence reveals framed nude photos of Ghislaine Maxwell, model-like women, a Lolita Express miniature, and an unusual dental chair.
This partial dump follows Epstein's 2008 Florida plea deal, 2019 federal charges, and death in custody. Connections to figures like Clinton, Trump, and Bill Gates have been noted, though no criminal implications for them in these files. Deputy AG Todd Blanche confirmed more documents are pending review for victim privacy. The release builds on prior public disclosures from court cases and congressional probes.
