No Evidence of “Leaked Video” as New Epstein Files Renew Scrutiny of DOJ Handling
Claims circulating online that former President Bill Clinton leaked a video implicating Donald Trump in sexual misconduct are not supported by evidence, according to a review of the newly released Epstein-related documents and public records. However, the latest document dump has reignited controversy over how federal authorities handled early warnings about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes—and why so many red flags were ignored for years.
The U.S. Department of Justice recently released tens of thousands of additional pages tied to the Epstein investigation. While the documents include references to numerous powerful figures and internal communications among prosecutors and investigators, they do not contain any video evidence nor any new proof that President Trump engaged in criminal sexual activity.
What the New Files Actually Show
The newly released materials include:
Internal DOJ and FBI emails
Early complaints from Epstein victims
Investigative notes dating back to the mid-1990s
References to Trump’s name in limited contexts, such as a check and a photograph, both of which remain unexplained and heavily redacted
One long-standing civil lawsuit—filed years ago and already part of the public record—alleges that Epstein brought a 14-year-old girl to Mar-a-Lago in the 1990s, where she was allegedly introduced to Trump. Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and the new DOJ release contains no new evidence substantiating the claim.
Justice Department officials have stated that the latest tranche of files is largely absent of new material directly implicating Trump in criminal conduct.
Survivors Focus on Institutional Failure
While public attention has fixated on famous names, Epstein survivors say the real story is systemic failure.
One of the most significant revelations in the new files is a 1996 FBI complaint from artist Maria Farmer, who alleged that Epstein stole photographs of her sisters—then aged 12 and 16—and attempted to sell them. Her sister, Annie Farmer, said seeing the complaint in writing decades later was deeply emotional.
“To know they had this document the entire time—and how many people were harmed after that—it’s devastating,” she said.
Legal experts note that this type of contemporaneous documentation strongly supports survivor credibility and raises urgent questions about why Epstein was not stopped years earlier.
Frustration With the DOJ Continues
Survivors have also expressed anger over how the document release is being handled. They say the database is difficult to search, releases are made without notice, and crucial information appears to remain withheld—despite court-ordered deadlines.
As of now:
Over 100,000 pages have been released
Sources say the full Epstein archive could exceed 1 million pages
Ghislaine Maxwell remains the only person convicted as Epstein’s co-conspirator
No Clinton “Leak,” No Verified Video
Despite viral headlines, there is no evidence that Bill Clinton leaked any video, nor that such a video exists. Clinton’s name, like Trump’s and others, has appeared in prior Epstein-related reporting, but nothing in the new DOJ release supports claims of a secret recording or new sexual revelations involving Trump.
Journalists and legal analysts warn that sensational framing risks obscuring the core issue: repeated law-enforcement failures that allowed Epstein to continue abusing minors for decades.
The Unfinished Story
For survivors, the question is not which famous name trends online, but why credible complaints were ignored, who made those decisions, and whether full accountability will ever occur.
As one survivor put it, the case is “most definitely not over.”
