The Department of Justice announced on Friday the release of 3.5 million more pages of documents related to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, including over 2,000 related videos and 180,000 images.

“These files were collected from five primary sources including the Florida and New York cases against Epstein, the New York case against Maxwell, the New York cases investigating Epstein’s death, the Florida case investigating a former butler of Epstein, Multiple FBI investigations, and the Office of Inspector General investigation into Epstein’s death,” the agency said in a press release.

“[The president’s] direction to the Department of Justice was to be as transparent, release the files, be as transparent as we can. And that’s exactly what we did,” U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said during a press conference.

Internet sleuths dove into the cache of documents published on Friday, with several notable standouts from the slush of disturbing and sometimes boring information trove.

One of the oddest standouts was a series of emails discussing billionaire Bill Gates. In the emails, correspondence seemed to suggest that Gates contracted a sexually transmitted disease from Russian prostitutes, and allegedly was asking for medicine to give to his wife, Melinda, as a result.

As with everything that has been previously published in relation to the Epstein files, much of it lacks context, so it is hard to determine the authenticity of the material and its bearing on current events.

“We did not protect President Trump we didn’t protect or not protect anybody,” Deputy AG Blanche told the press on Friday. “I think that there’s a hunger or a thirst for information that I do not think will be satisfied by the review of these documents, and there’s nothing I can do about that.”

Much of the material released by the DOJ is sensitive and includes “large quantities of commercial pornography,” according to Blanche.
