The long-awaited disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs and associated names is set to be released Thursday, February 27, 2025, according to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. This significant move follows mounting bipartisan pressure to provide full transparency regarding Epstein’s network and activities. The release will include flight records, logs, and names of individuals connected to Epstein’s travel history.
Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was arrested in 2019 and died in a Manhattan jail cell under controversial circumstances while awaiting trial for alleged sex trafficking and conspiracy. His connections to high-profile politicians, business moguls, and celebrities have continued to fuel global speculation and demand for further investigations.
What Will Be in the Epstein Files?
According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the files will include:
- Flight logs from Epstein’s private jet, the “Lolita Express”
- Names of individuals who traveled on his plane
- Previously undisclosed records related to Epstein’s business dealings
- Potential new evidence related to Epstein’s associates
However, Bondi emphasized that the files would be carefully redacted to protect the privacy of more than 250 victims identified in the investigation.
"Our priority remains justice for Epstein's victims, and while we are committed to transparency, we must ensure that survivors’ privacy is fully respected," Bondi stated in a press conference.
This release follows years of legal battles and public outcry, with critics arguing that key information about Epstein’s network has been deliberately concealed.
Political Pressure and Calls for Full Transparency
Senator Marsha Blackburn Demands Unredacted Logs
Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) has been leading efforts to demand full, unredacted disclosure of Epstein’s records, including:
- Complete flight logs
- Surveillance footage from Epstein’s properties
- Details of Epstein’s financial transactions
Blackburn has accused both the FBI and IRS of withholding crucial evidence, stating:
"The American people and Epstein’s victims deserve the full truth. We will not allow powerful individuals to hide behind redactions and legal loopholes."
Other lawmakers, including Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), have also called for Epstein’s “client list” to be fully released, alleging that previous redactions protected high-profile figures from scrutiny.
Which High-Profile Figures Are Under Scrutiny?
The release of Epstein’s files is expected to renew scrutiny on several high-profile individuals who had associations with him. Some of the key figures whose names have been mentioned in previous investigations include:
Prince Andrew (British Royal Family)
- The Duke of York has denied allegations of wrongdoing but previously settled a civil lawsuit with one of Epstein’s accusers.
- Calls for him to cooperate with the FBI have resurfaced as new evidence may come to light.
Jes Staley (Former Barclays CEO)

The FBI and DOJ have yet to confirm whether new prosecutions may arise from the released information.
