Among the latest released information is a photo of Epstein now jailed confidante Ghislaine Maxwell outside Downing Street - the UK prime minister's office and residence - a document that claims Epstein introduced a 14-year-old girl to US President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, and multiple images of former President Bill Clinton.

Other released photos show the interiors of Epstein's homes, his overseas travels, as well as celebrities, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and Peter Mandelson - former UK Labour Party politician and ambassador to the US.

Being named or pictured in the files is not an indication of wrongdoing. Many of those identified in the files or in previous releases related to Epstein have denied any wrongdoing.

Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein and has not been accused of any crimes by Epstein's victims. Clinton has never been accused of wrongdoing by survivors of Epstein's abuse, and has denied knowledge of his sex offending.

At least 15 of the released files were no longer available on the DOJ website on Saturday.

One of the missing files showed a mass of framed photos on a desk, according to CBS, the BBC's media partner in the US. The photos showed Bill Clinton, and another was of the Pope. In an open drawer, there was a photo of Trump, Epstein, and Maxwell.

Other missing files included photos of a room with what appeared to be a massage table and nude photos and nude paintings.

It was not clear why the files were no longer available.

In a post on X on Saturday night, the DOJ wrote: "Photos and other materials will continue being reviewed and redacted consistent with the law in an abundance of caution as we receive additional information."

The BBC has asked the DOJ for comment.

Deputy US Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Friday - the day the materials were released - that the department had identified more than 1,200 Epstein victims or their relatives, and withheld material that could identify them.

But many of the documents are also heavily redacted.

The DOJ said it would comply with the congressional request to release documents, with some stipulations.

It redacted personally identifiable information about Epstein's victims, materials depicting child sexual abuse, materials depicting physical abuse, any records that "would jeopardise an active federal investigation" or any classified documents that must stay secret to protect "national defence or foreign policy".

Kinda crazy that we're living through the greatest scandal and coverup in American history.

All to protect wealthy pedophile rapists.

They shouldn't be "nervous and skeptical" they should be "furious" because they're breaking the law. The bill passed was to release all the files by the appointed time. Instead, they released some and so heavily redacted as to be a joke.
