It remains unclear whether the partial release will satisfy critics, with more documents expected over the next two weeks.
A key question ahead of the release was how prominently Trump would feature, given his past social ties with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s. An initial Reuters review found few references.

The files included a photo of Epstein appearing to hold a check with Trump’s name on it and another image from Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse showing a copy of Trump’s 1997 book, Trump: The Art of the Comeback.
Trump’s name had previously appeared in flight manifests and an Epstein contact book made public during the 2021 trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
