What This Project Does
Read the files, surface the signals, and link the records to reporting.
Built for file-first search
There are millions of pages in the Epstein releases: EFTA PDFs, FBI interviews, 302 memos, financial records, flight logs, court material, and media files. If you already know the file, name, or file type you want, this search is built to take you there quickly.
Every document ranked and explained
We read every document in the corpus, extract names, entities, and connections, write plain-language explanations of what each record contains, and assign an investigative significance rating. You're searching a curated research layer, not just a file dump.
Search flows into reporting
We use the same system to publish original investigations. When something significant surfaces from search traffic, our newsroom, or reader submissions, we verify it against the files and publish with full source citations. Readers can also submit leads for follow-up.
What You Can Search
Search by file number, name, file type, or records ranked by significance.
If you already know the file, person, or reference you want, start here. These are the fastest paths into the corpus.

How It Works
We read the files, you search them, we investigate the leads.
The scale of these releases is designed to overwhelm. We built a system that refuses to be overwhelmed.
We Read Every Document
Millions of pages scanned for text, layout, redactions, and handwritten notes. Every document is ranked for investigative significance and tagged with names, dates, file references, and connections.
You Search by EFTA, Name, or File Type
The corpus, ranked by investigative significance, powers our public file search. Look up EFTA IDs, PDF filenames, names, aliases, file types, and lead types. Open the original DOJ files from the same search.
We Verify and Publish
When something significant surfaces from search traffic, our newsroom, or outside reporters, we dig in. We verify against the source files, follow the paper trail, and publish with full source citations.

FAQ
Quick answers before you start searching.
How do I look up a specific EFTA file?
Enter the EFTA ID, House Oversight ID, or PDF filename directly into file search. The explorer resolves lookups such as EFTA02858481, HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013470, or EFTA02858495.pdf and routes you into the matching record.
What else can I search besides file numbers?
You can search names, aliases, headlines, tagged entities, and file types. For example, you can jump straight to all video files with the file type filter.
What if the official source page moves or disappears?
We keep extracted metadata, entities, file-level explanations, and significance ratings so researchers can still understand what a record contains and recover its reference trail even if the source location changes.
Why are investigations linked next to search paths?
Some file trails already connect to published reporting. When we have verified the records and written up the findings, we link those investigations so you can move from raw documents to sourced context.
