The DOJ completed its Epstein Files Transparency Act review by releasing the final batch of materials—more than 3 million pages, 2,000 videos and 180,000 images—from a review of over 6 million records. The release notes redaction rules (women removed from photos/videos) and cites the discovery of substantial commercial pornography on Epstein’s devices. A document shows Howard Lutnick planned a 2012 trip to Epstein’s island. The White House had no oversight of the review, and while earlier disclosures referenced Trump’s flights on Epstein’s jet, no wrongdoing is alleged. Officials say more Epstein files are coming soon, beyond the statutory deadline.

A state district court judge in Austin has ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to release records, including unredacted body-worn camera footage and other investigative material, related to the law enforcement response to the May 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School. The request for information was filed by media organizations under the Texas Public Information Act, but DPS officials had refused to release them citing a pending investigation exemption. The judge's ruling requires DPS to disclose the records within 20 days, but the agency has until December 28 to file an appeal, which could further delay the release.
