47,635 New Files, a 60-Count Indictment, and a Week That Changed Everything

Published March 7, 2026 — The week of March 3–7 produced more new public record than any week since the original 2019 indictment. Here is what the documents show.

The 60-Count Indictment That Disappeared

Newly released DOJ memos confirm what many suspected but had never seen documented: federal prosecutors in South Florida drafted a 60-count indictment against Jeffrey Epstein in 2007, including charges of child prostitution and sex trafficking. They planned to take him into custody and seize both his Palm Beach home and his two private jets.

Three of the newly released memos came from the office of then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta. They describe a prosecution that was fully constructed, legally sound, and then quietly dismantled.

What emerged instead: a Non-Prosecution Agreement. Thirteen months. Work release six days a week. Co-conspirators granted immunity. Victims not notified, in violation of federal law — a fact a judge confirmed in 2019.

The memos also include a section on "possible credibility challenges" with victims — a section that Epstein's legal team later used to help justify the deal. Prosecutors had built a case strong enough to win. The documentation of its collapse is now public record.

47,635 More Documents

On March 5, a DOJ spokeswoman told the Wall Street Journal that 47,635 additional Epstein files had been "offline for further review" and would be released by end of week. Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act — signed by President Trump in November 2025 — the DOJ is required to release all files related to the Epstein case, with narrow redactions only for victim protection or active investigations.

This release includes FBI Form 302 interview summaries, internal communications, and documents that were previously coded as "duplicates" and withheld. The DOJ confirmed that 15 of those documents were incorrectly coded.

Reid Hoffman: "Ice Cream for the Girls"

Documents reviewed by Bloomberg News and reported March 4 reveal that LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman stayed at Epstein's private island and kept contact with the financier for years after his 2008 conviction. In one email accompanying a gift to Epstein, Hoffman joked about ice cream "for the girls."

Hoffman has previously acknowledged meeting Epstein but claimed he tried to distance himself after learning of the 2008 conviction. The emails suggest otherwise.

Epstein Funded Chelsea Clinton's Building

Documents from the released Epstein files reveal the financier quietly invested approximately $920,000 in the luxury condo conversion at 21 East 26th Street in Manhattan — a building later marketed as "The Whitman" and home to Chelsea Clinton, Jennifer Lopez (who bought the penthouse for $20 million), and NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon.

Emails show developer David Mitchell pitched the deal directly to Epstein, who responded: "I'm closing today on your deal, with no due diligence. I am merely relying on your representations." Epstein also wrote that he wanted to take the penthouse instead of a cash payout. The investment gave him access to developer-level profits in a building that became one of Manhattan's most celebrity-studded addresses.

Deb Haaland and the JEGE LLC Jet

Emails released in the Epstein files show that former Biden Interior Secretary Deb Haaland — now the Democratic frontrunner for New Mexico governor — flew on a jet chartered by JEGE LLC in 2014. JEGE LLC was a company connected to Epstein, registered to his island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Haaland was traveling to Washington, D.C. alongside then-gubernatorial candidate Gary King. King's campaign organization, the Committee to Elect Gary King, arranged the charter. Epstein facilitated it. Haaland's spokesperson said she was unaware of the Epstein connection at the time.

Clinton Depositions and Bondi Subpoena

Bill and Hillary Clinton gave closed-door depositions to the House Oversight Committee during the week of March 3. Photos subsequently emerged of Bill Clinton in a hot tub with Ghislaine Maxwell and an unidentified woman — photos that columnists noted complicated Hillary Clinton's testimony. Flight logs entered into federal court evidence in 2015 document Clinton flew on N909JE 27 times.

On March 5, the House Oversight Committee voted 24–19 — a bipartisan majority — to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Epstein files. Republicans Tim Burchett, Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace, Scott Perry, and Michael Cloud joined Democrats in backing the subpoena. House Republicans separately sent letters to Bill Gates and Leon Black requesting testimony on their ties to Epstein.
