The latest Jeffrey Epstein case documents include names and images of numerous celebrities, including a photo of former Prince Andrew straddling a woman, which is expected to increase pressure on him further.
Last Friday (30 Jan 2026), the U.S. Department of Justice released over 3 million documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender. Many well-known figures appear by name or image in these documents.
Todd Blanche, U.S. Attorney General, explained the delayed release by stating that this new batch, including over 2,000 videos and more than 180,000 photos, is so voluminous that if stacked, it would be as tall as two Eiffel Towers. The materials had to be reviewed to redact information that could identify victims.
One person under particular scrutiny in the Epstein case is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former British prince. The latest documents include photos of him kneeling over a woman lying on the floor, with two images showing him touching her abdomen, and another showing him looking directly at the camera.
Additionally, emails revealed last Friday indicate that Jeffrey Epstein invited former Prince Andrew to dinner with a 26-year-old Russian woman. This exchange took place in August 2010, two years after Epstein pleaded guilty to charges of procuring minors for prostitution.
These texts and images are expected to increase pressure on Andrew, who has long faced intense scrutiny over his past friendship with Epstein, even though the photos and messages do not explicitly indicate illegal activity.
Besides former Prince Andrew, the name of U.S. President Donald Trump also appears in this latest document set. One FBI tip report alleges several accusations against him, but investigators at the time deemed these claims unreliable.
The documents also contain information about Epstein's time in prison and circumstances surrounding his death, noting that Epstein “voluntarily chose not to have a cellmate” and “engaged in manipulative behavior to avoid sharing a cell.”
The documents further accuse Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates of having a sexually transmitted disease, prompting the billionaire to strongly deny the claims as “utterly ridiculous and completely untrue.”
Meanwhile, Elon Musk's name appears over 1,000 times in the documents, though some references are duplicates due to repeated copies of pages. He did exchange emails with Epstein in 2012 and 2013 to arrange visits to Epstein's private island.
“It would just be Talulah and me,” Musk wrote, seemingly referring to Talulah Riley, the British actress and his ex-wife. “What day or night is the wildest party on your island?” Musk asked.
Epstein replied, “The male-to-female ratio on my island might make Talulah uncomfortable.” Musk responded, “Ratio won’t be a problem for Talulah.”
However, Musk appears not to have visited the island on either occasion, citing travel issues in his emails.
It should be noted that Epstein was connected to many prominent individuals, and the presence of their names in these documents does not imply any wrongdoing on their part.
